Room Size

12'x14'x8'

System Overview

Like what I hear through it. Like playing with it, too.

Music Preferences

Mostly small-scale stuff with a voice or instrument telling some story.

Room Description

Small and dark with a comfy chair. Set up in a Cardas/rule-of-thirds/near field kind of way.

Acoustic Treatment

DIY panels in corners and reflections. Hack-job diffusers up front. Probably not doing much since ears are only 5' from speakers.

Listening Impressions

Happy when hearing the music. Less so, but not unhappy, when thinking about what's reproducing it.

Media Storage

Records behind me on the floor. CD's ripped to streamer storage. Radio inside that streamer, too.
