Hi. I've been visiting the Shack for quite some time, so I decided to join in. Good forums here, clean, informative and much more pro than any other forum on the internet.
I can decribe me as an old-schooler of sound, still wondering between the glory days of analog and the never ending madness of the digital era. I love sound, music and everything related to it. My musical core are hard rock/progressive/metal 70s, 80s, and some early 90s. I also like progressive new age and jazz (Manheim Steamroller, Rippingtons/Satriani to name a few). This calls for at least tower speakers full range and a musically friendly sub. For video, I am not too much into the "Crash and Burn Movies", but I do watch from time to time when I have the need for shaking the system. Japanese Anime and Non-Mainstream movies are my cup of tea, although probably not the most impressive in terms of home theater performance (ex: Traffic, Memento, Pulp Fiction, etc.). On the other hand, the audio tracks of some japanese movies (in their original japanese versions) have probably the most spectacular 7.1 sound I've ever experienced.

And remember...hearing is believing.
Truly yours
