System Goals/Comments:	Keep upgrading. There's always something better.
System Strengths:	Nicely detailed, great imaging and soundstage.
System Weaknesses:	Flabby bass, due to ST-70 limitations. This is no longer true, I've improved every aspect of the system since I wrote that. Bass is very fast and tight now. Speakers themselves go very deep ~28hz.

Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers:	Outlaw 1050, doesn't work very well anymore, channels drop.
Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub):	DIY Audax Center, old Boston Acoustic surrounds, SVS 20-39CS sub w/parts express amp. Haven't used the sub in about 5 years although it is still there. Kinda hard to hide it.
