System Overview

Denon, McCormack's and Vandersteens make the heart of this system sing.

Music Preferences

Classic Rock, Jazz, R&B, Classical and Country

Room Description

Dedicated listening room in the basement.

Acoustic Treatment

Next toy to start playing with to improve the sound.

Listening Impressions

Very three dimensional with a relaxed non fatiguing sound to wash away the days troubles. I love the fact that I can produce wonderful music and have an awesome theater in the same room.
