Old School, a Two-channel Audio System by hifiguy

Room Size
15'x12'x8'
System Overview
NEEDS upgraded preamp - completed 10/13 Absolute Phase Switch tweek
Music Preferences
ANYTHING except opera 1812 Telarc is nice...
Room Description
WAY too small. Needs reinforcement as walls / floor flex
Listening Impressions
Image is wonderful. Dynamics are more than necessary. Smooth and very musical. Low frequency extension goes subsonic. Modded Pre and Amp helped the image and musicality further. SPL is capable of unbelievable power.
