Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Classical (lots of choral and Gregorian chants) and religious music.
System Goals/Comments:	All I was after was a good sounding set of desktop speakers and I got a little carried away.
System Strengths:	Smooth and revealing! Music that I once thought was poorly recorded now sounds great!
System Weaknesses:	Perhaps too revealing in that I get sibilace on many vocals. I use foobar with an equalizer and low pass filter to make these recording listenable.
Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	Mysticism!
