Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Acoustic Jazz and Classical (with some 70s-90s Pop and R&B)
System Goals/Comments:	That I can enjoy the music. A system that will sound great on all recordings; and also 'settle' my thirst for further improvments. I now have a McIntosh system; and it does just that.
System Strengths:	The mark of an OUTSTANDING music reproduction system is not the detail, the space, the neutrality; THE MARK OF AN OUTSTANDING MUSIC REPRODUCTION SYSTEM IS HOW MUCH IT ENGAGES YOU TO LISTEN MORE, HOW MUCH THE MUSIC REPRODUCED MAKES YOU 'AIR CONDUCT' OR TAP YOUR FEET OR EVEN PLAY 'AIR GUITAR' OR 'AIR PIANO' OR SING ALONG. ...this system does just that -- and I am forever grateful to have it and enjoy it for many years to come as I have so much so far.
System Weaknesses:	Not the ultimate in detail....not the ultimate in soundstage....not the ultimate in frequency extension.....and not a care I have it is not !
Video/HT System: None
