System Goals/Comments:	A blank sheet of canvas.
System Strengths:	Creates a HUGE bubble of sound. Excellent depth and placement. Good tonality. Very quick and rythmic, when appropriate.
System Weaknesses:	Can become a little hard on top when pushed, especially with Redbook. I've had and heard speakers that are more transparent and articulate, but few, if any, that "boogie" as well and none that sound as BIG.
