Room Description

drywall, carpet on concrete about 14 x 22 with TV and mains on short side

Acoustic Treatment

Corning panels 2x4' at first reflections and in rear corner where other side opens to a room. tapestry on one wall close to first reflection I have some racks of CD/LP's around the room Use the Audessy auto set up & EQ

Listening Impressions

I like the flatter response achieved using Audessey in the 8003 auto speaker calibration set up. It helps to decrease room conditions that can degrade the system's response.

Media Storage

wood cabinet with pull out trays that hold movie discs

Other Comments
