Room Size

16x20x8.5

System Overview

To connect to the music, emotionally that is. I like voices that are intimate and instruments with spot-on timbre. All the while the system needs to portray a balanced musicality. Many changes over the past several years have my system performing at a near super system level.

Music Preferences

Everything as long as it is good, although my wife likes cheesy pop music. Really the only genres not represented in our collection is modern Country, and most Rap that gets airplay
