Electrostatic Elation, a Two-channel Audio System by nickspicks

nice shot of all that breathing room, required for true 3-D soundstage presentation.
Room Size
23x17x7
System Overview
Music Preferences
classic rock, "jamband" type of modern music, blues, jazz, funk, disco, classical. you name it! I listen to mostly live music. Typically ambient recordings of bands from around the country. LOTS of Grateful Dead. (~);}
Room Description
living room. needs acoustic treatments. Lots of ring and echo where the speakers are. i'm sure i'm loosing detail here, yet i'm surprised how much detail I can still hear.
Listening Impressions
sometimes I can get holographic type imaging where sound is projected to a location in the room and not just floating in between the speakers.
Media Storage
NAS 500gb, mirrored.
