Room Size
20 x 14 x 9
System Overview
Never ending enjoyment.
Music Preferences
mostly Jazz but I like most forms of music
Room Description
Dedicated listening room 20 x 14 x 9. Double drywall with Green Glue, rubber isolated ceiling. It's not pretty but works well.
Acoustic Treatment
8th Nerve corners and seams. GIK Acoustics diffusors at first reflection points, GIK tri-traps in the corners and GIK panels on the wall behind the speakers..
Listening Impressions
Very fast and dynamic and very revealing of changes anywhere in the chain. The room is so quiet that everything is audible.
Media Storage
Boltz racks but music stored on dedicated server disk drives, 32TB storage. IKEA record racks.
Other Comments
I am really happy with the sound. Best I've ever had by a considerable margin, at least for my tastes. :)
