Room Size

38'x15'x7.5'

System Overview

Getting back to the basics, the purity of fleapowered amps, high efficiency speakers and lots of vinyl sprinkled in for good measure. Welborne 300b DRDs and Klipsch Cornwall IVs.

Music Preferences

I listen to and love everything, literally.

Room Description

This is a dedicated, basement listening room

Listening Impressions

This room is very gear friendly. With it's 38' length and 15' width, I don't have the huge acoustic nodes and nulls most people experience when putting together a smaller 'dedicated listening room'.

Media Storage

Four sections of the Ikea Expedit to hold my vinyl. 12 terabytes of NAS to handle all of my ripped CD's and HiRez music.
