How much of your free time is dedicated to listening to your stereo?
What is this thing, "free time" of that you speak? I know not of this concept ... jk, sort of, well, not really ... My current lifestyle allows only one or two sessions per month, about 7 hrs per. That is about all of the free time I get right now.

What is your budget?How much are you willing to spend?
