| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Rock, Country, Jazz, Classical, just about anything! |
| System Goals/Comments: | I wanted a system that projects an accurate image of a band or musician with a feeling of depth and placement. I also wanted to have the dynamics of a live performance. |
| System Strengths: | Has the dynamics of a live performance, thanks to the subs, and the imagining is very good. Depth can be very good with a good CD and voices are excellent. Sound is pretty good at lower levels and wonderful when closer to real SPL's. |
| System Weaknesses: | Some instruments get lost in the crowd of larger symphonies and ambience can lack sometimes as well. I am nit picking though, I am very happy with this system. I have self designed speakers in the works, and perhaps they will bring more of these complaints to an end. But you know it is never really done! |
| Video/HT System: None | |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | I am an ex-landscaper turned stay at home father, cabinet and furniture maker. I have been interested in music and audio equipment for 30 years. I enjoy playing with my kids, scouting, playing on 4 wheelers, boating and landscaping. Woodworking is a passion that has turned semi professional for me, it allows me to live a good fulfilling life, and I am thankful for it. |
