Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	All! That is what is great about a network server serving lossless FLAC files. You get up in the morning and make a playlist for the day and if you are going to be moving around then the shop, great room and bedroom are all synched on the same playlist. Don't knock it unless you have tried it!
System Goals/Comments:	2 Channel first but I have to use and TV and HT as well so integrated. My ears fatigue easily so system cannot be too forward
System Strengths:	Convenience! I have a Transport in Bedroom and SB3 in shop/garage. Sound is excellent form the 2 Terra Byte NAS server where music is stored in all FLAC format. I have converted many music lovers.
System Weaknesses:	Probably the room but treatments continue. Sure I would take some better hardware but I have reached a point where my system gives me a lot of enjoyment.
Video/HT System: Integrated
TV/Projector:	Hitachi 55" Plasma
