:doh: I'm Puzzled . . . the advise sought on here is so often 'music style' related? "Twenty five years ago, this was rarely a consideration, from what I remember of the media recommendation, and reviews, or for that fact, my own perception of what was going on . . . Surly, without a jack of all trade system, life is going to get very frustrating, if you only listen to Classical or exclusively Rock music??? Its interesting when one reads a review, it usually says; on this track I noticed xxxx, an that track it was yyyyy . . . finalised with; great product, nine out of ten. The various track are usually a cross section of music styles and type. To tune for one music style seems very short sighted on the part of the manufacturer or the consumer? May be here in is my need to tune and tinker with my system, as I 'sometimes' do. Its aimed at getting the best across the board out of what I have, to think of changing an item because it fails to quite live up to expectations seem dramatic. Equally 'one size fits all' is impractical, however I look at my newly assembled modest system and find it pleases me in my wide taste of music, from Classical to big Church Organ, Country through 80's Rock. Some fine tuning may happen, but in general term, there is no desperation to change any major component. I have Dynamics, good base extension, amazing mid range information and a clean top end, all together presenting a fine sound-stage, in short, musicality to enjoy. Am I out of date, getting old, missed the point, or simply 'a grumpy old git'? . . . CJSF
