Speaker Cables/Interconnects: Unknown - were in the house before I moved in, installed by previous audiophile. Generally sound good, but fairly old.

Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Instrumental guitar / Classical / Jazz / Rock
System Goals/Comments: WAF-compliance without sacrificing sound quality. I was willing to sacrifice some sweet-spot
System Strengths: Excellent sound over mid-range and treble. Base is well-integrated when volume isn't too high. WAF-compliance is excellent.
System Weaknesses: Sweet spot is somewhat limited. Horizontal sweet spot covers most of living room sitting area, but vertical sweet spot covers sitting only. While standing, significant treble is lost.
