Room Description

A 16 x 16 foot finished box in my basement which I have named "Ribik's Cube". Suspended drop ceiling. A "Pergo" type floor with two big area rugs. Dry wall on all four sides with a pine wainscott coming up about 3 feet.

Listening Impressions

Pretty good. Need more room treatments and also need to stop being lazy and start taking measurements. However, the soundstage and placement of instruments are very good.

Media Storage

Very dated external hard drives. Soon to be updated with Synology.
