"...but I don’t count those sessions. That’s just background music."I count even those moments. My system is used for that 95% of the time. Plays music whenever I remember to turn it on, but I have no real interest in sitting in front of it for extended periods of time. There is only 24 hours in the day and they are sold out.
That may be how I came up with my evaluation of the systems strategy, It has to sound pleasant from another room.
