I feel this system will do a commendable job with everything from HT to small-scale acoustic recording. The Cary power amps are for front channel only, the Marantz is fine for the other channels. Klipschorns are one of those speakers you either love or hate. If you want dynamics, detail, power and stage size, the Klipschorns are tough to beat for the money. I do think It does a super job on Jazz, blues, big band, Pop and rock.
Movies are very convincing.
