Room Size (LxWxH):	18 x 14 x 9
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	'Rock' (whatever that is these days), Jazz (ditto!), occassional classical or electronica, Reggae/ska, salsa/afro-cuban, etc.
System Goals/Comments:	I think the Spendors are keepers.
System Strengths:	Good for a variety of musics, relatively un-colored, dynamic enuf. Sounds good off axis, which is actually an issue since I listen while hanging out around the house, and some speakers I've had were bad off-axix.
System Weaknesses:	Placement is probably the main issue, the Spendors are closer to rear wall than optimum.
Video/HT System: None
