Thank you to the generous individual that rated my system a 9 :-) It is far from perfect, but has some nice strengths. Wide and deep soundstage, Outstanding vocal clarity, and accurate bass. Some feel the bass is too weak, but I prefer the realistic bass vs. the bloated soggy overdone bass I have heard in some systems. System lacks in detail during redbook cd playback. Also I am in need of some acoustic treatments to help deaden the over-live room.
