What music is your system setup for?


I am new here, so hello to everyone.
Did you set your system up for rock, jazz or classical from the get go?
Are your speakers far from the back wall, say 6 feet for a deep sound stage, some say nessesary for classical?
just off the wall, say 3 feet good for rock and some where in between for jazz, or does it matter?
Also what type of music did you purchase your equipment to listen to and is it a compromise when you listen to the other or does that not matter either?
Just thoughtI would ask.
Thanks for your input.

Every system is a compromise of one sort or another. You cannot play 18 holes with 3 clubs, run a restaurant with 3 knives, or hear every genre at its best with one audio system. I have experienced a number of systems that sound very good across all genres, but never without a caveat of "if only"...

Music runs as vast as a person's emotions, and no one system covers that much terrain while maintaining straight A's. That said, I need at least two systems: a low-powered tube amp/high-efficiency horn system for when I need to weep to the sound of a cello, and a high-powered SS/hybrid/full-ranger for when I need the kick drum to mess with my heartbeat.

I almost forgot. I also need a ski mask & a hayseed bank to meet my goals.
