System Goals/Comments:	Since my taste run from acoustical guitar to Mahler I wanted the system to do a credible job of conveying such extremes.
System Strengths:	For me it delivers!
System Weaknesses:	Isolation from the rest of the house. Fortunately, there is plenty of time that all other household members are occupied elsewhere! If i had the money, I would upgrade the whole record playing chain first.

Comments on HT System:	Other than the EAD, the subs & the center channel this is made up from "stereo" systems I own. For multi-channel high resolution sources I use the analog pass-through on the EAD. The main LR output feeds the Coda. Volume is at a level matched point on the Innersound.
