Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Almost anything except most Rap
System Goals/Comments:	Prob'ly gone almost as far as Financially possible. Would like to up-grade to latest Bottlehead Paramount Amps sometime. Keep thinking about changing/improving/painting the Spkr. Baffles, but the're not for show, and sound pretty good as they are.
System Strengths:	Extremely pleasure-able to listen to, Difficult or impossible to read, etc., while listening to Vinyl, which is about 90% of the time. CD is good also and tends to hold you're attention. For now, have eliminated any issues that I was obsessing over, or that i'm aware of, and can listen contentedly.
System Weaknesses:	Well...obviously can,t compare to Mike Lavigne's system, or anything remotely close to it. Room to narrow and low.
Video/HT System: Separate
TV/Projector:	Sony 32" trinitron
Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers:	Denon AVR3300
Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub):	Pi 2's for front Rogers LS2's for rear

Comments on HT System:	Will do until funds allow for larger flat screen and Blu ray. Spend most of my time in music room. Wife likes TV during week and occasionally we'll watch 1 or 2 movies on week-ends
