System Goals/Comments: Enjoy what I have. Rewire Ittok. Do I really need a better subwoofer?
System Strengths: Plays all types of music well. (Really--that is so important!) Fair three-dimensionality, tone and pacing. Vivid sounding. Sounds alive. Very involving. I never feel critical when listening! (I hope I never eat those words--because I have so many times over the last 30 years.)
System Weaknesses: Not too much. Maybe bigger speakers and super-masculine amps for better full orchestra classical but even that I'm not sure of.
