Silk 6’ tall bamboo planter, small ivy plant to diffuse the front wall, as well as a large non-reflective picture on the center of the front wall.

Listening Impressions

I placed the ribbon tweeters on the outside and this really opens things up and is more forgiving, yet still produces a holographic and liquid sound stage that is wallless. Outstanding mids and highs that are not the slightest bit fatiguing. Wonderfully fast and lifelike. Vinyl sounds so intimate and goosebump producing.
