Feeling very fortunate this summer, as I've been able to work from home. If I win, this system will go to my best friend -- a Broadway musician who dreams of the day he can go back to sharing music with others. In this case, it would be great to share the gift of music with him.

Wow - VPI, SVS and Nordost - all great names, and great products from what I've heard of them at shows and dealers. I can just imagine how good they will sound together. Fortunately, I never got rid of my vinyl collection (started collecting in 70s) and they're in good shape so I don't have to buy reissues. I don't have the Disney offerings so would love to have those, too.

Thanks for offering this sweepstakes. Good luck to all entrants,

Bob
