Room Size

18' X 25'

System Overview

I do not have a fixed system. According to moods, I will swap either of my speakers, as well as amps. Variety is the key principal of my system. I strive to entertain guests to the best of my hospitality. I try to DIY as much as possible, wherever possible. Every member of the family knows how to use my system, and I am glad that they enjoy it too !

Music Preferences

Anything but rap.

Room Description

There are so many things in the room that they become part of the acoustic room treatment ! I listen at about 4M from my speakers, and there is a small sofa directly ahead of me to help in absorbing some reflections.

Acoustic Treatment

Furniture , paintings on walls. Anything but "special acoustic treatment "

Listening Impressions

Accurate and clean with superbly linear bass. No eq is used. Ok, maybe I lost a little bit of musicality for cleanliness but I can live with it !
