A tapestry on one wall, curtains, back wall is lined with LP's and discs. I have some 2x4' Corning 703 acoustic panels, 4" thick placed around the room, especially first reflections

Listening Impressions

The system has good dynamics, transients and transparency, while presenting a non-fatiguing rhythmic pace.

For LP's I have a LP rack from Musicdirect. I have a four sided rotating stand for CD's and a few other towers. A couple DVD cabinets and shelf for Blu-ray CD's are ripped to the hard drive of the ACS10
