System Goals/Comments:	I like to use the Cary 300SEI with the Spendor S8e's along with the Cary CDP 303/300 best. Very musical and resolving, but not the best combo for rock.
System Strengths:	I use a MacBook to stream music to the DX-7S and Air Motiv speakers. Requires at least 1 glass of wine to overlook low bass and ribbon tweeter harshness.
System Weaknesses:	Depends on the component mix. None of my speakers provide high levels of lowest octave bass.
