Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Literally everything from country to classical to college alternative to hip hop, although I have 7 specific discs chosen for auditioning. Takes me about 1 hour to listen to a speaker while taking notes.
System Goals/Comments:	Mainly maximum 2 channel resolution with ability to do dts 5.1 movies for guests, best quality midrange, absolute bass depth not that important, but tautness and quality are.
System Strengths:	Seems like I got what I asked for; the movies get rave reviews from my guests, with little appreciation for 2 channel. Oh well.
System Weaknesses:	People in on line reviews have described these speakers as bass shy? bass shy? I'd call them honest to the recording.
Video/HT System: Integrated
TV/Projector:	JVC 38''
Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers:	Krell Audio+Video Standard, Red Dragon Audio sa1000 IcePower amp, 5 channel Adcom gfa6000 for surrounds
Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub):	Dynaudio Confidence 5 mains, Phantom center channel, Polk Audio on wall surrounds
Sources (DVD/VCR):	Satellite; various dvd players. Still deciding on a new one.
Comments on HT System:	....hmmmm....I guess I am more of a music listener than HT. It works, and my friends/guests/clients say it is better than the movie theater, so I'm happy!
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	Attorney; 'bon vivant, master teller of tales, connesseur of fine wines.' At least that is what I always wanted to be. Pilot, bicycling, music!
