Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Classical Mostly symphonic and piano
System Goals/Comments:	I suppose it is a modest system by Asylum standards, but to me it is both expensive and wonderfully musical
System Strengths:	I love it
System Weaknesses:	Possibly speaker placement. Probably the cables. But none really that I can hear.
Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	Amateur pianist, formerly piano student for many years.
