Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Jazz, Rock, Soul
System Goals/Comments:	Perfection is the goal. I'm happy with what I've got, but it could be better.
System Strengths:	EMT 938, extremely good with total control. Drums really sound like drums. Calmness in the soundstage with the Pioneer. Sweet midrange with the Marantz..
System Weaknesses:	Focal Chorus 826V rolls of pretty early on the bass. The CD-players are not especially good. Unfortunately I've got a bit small room so I can't place the speakers far enough from each other.. the EMT is a little bit big..
Video/HT System: None
