Deep Purple, a Two-channel Audio System by nathanm

Room Size
13'11x12'2x7'6
System Overview
Visually pleasing color scheme, quiet ambience, bass sounds fairly full, but there is a big hump at 40 and 50Hz. As symmetrical as can be achieved without structural damage. Dedicated for audio! Wooo! This is my "warm sounding" room. Not a very 3D soundstage in here but tonality is very unfatiguing on account of the very mellow upper treble. A little bit of goosed 20KHz at 2 octave bandwidth is necessary to add some sizzle lost with mellow speakers, mellow amp and passive pre driving 40 feet of interconnects which probably causes some input\output impedance mismatch whatchamacallit or so I guess.
Music Preferences
Death, Doom, Thrash, Speed, Grind, Heavy Metal, 70s rock, Dead Can Dance, occasional Folk. Classical\orchestral stuff only if it has balls. Krall, Jones, and their ilk not welcome!
Room Description
I wish the room was deeper, but what can ya do aside from move? Oh well. It's almost square as you can see, but it still is an improvement over the living room. It's quiet in here and I love that!
