Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Small arrangement Jazz, Fusion, Classic Rock as well as lots of variations on that theme. Vinyl being a key focus, I have no less than 700 LP's. 3/4 are Classical Music; it gets better, 10% of them are unopened! Waiting to experience!!
System Goals/Comments:	Would love to go SET with Bottlehead! Thinking Foreplay and a pair of Paramount 300B's, Most likely upgrades would be to LP playback; ie. cartridge and platter. ProAc Speakers will be in place for a while. Keep in mind this is a close quarters listening environment. Going on a tangent, I want Mark Levinson powered speakers with Audio Research pre. Now, I'm open to suggestions, simply displaying my train of thought. Also volume is not an issue so much as quality of sound. Again, small listening environment. Additionally, I have Kimber Kable 8tc ready to construct for speaker termination .
System Strengths:	ProAc Response 1S and Vinyl. Lot's of Vinyl!!
System Weaknesses:	Amplification and Pre-amp
Video/HT System: None
