Room Description

Largish room with lowish ceiling at about 7'6". The room has a large area rug over carpeted flooring. The right of the listenng room is open to the kitchen and foyer. The left has an irregular wall due to bay-window protrusion. At the back, there are a couple of book shelves with books and LPs; top of the shelves also house the Surround speakers. Room also has bean bags and couches. And of course, there's a 60" TV between the LR speakers and behind the central channel

Acoustic Treatment

None. Except furniture etc as noted in the Room Description doing it by default. There's no echo, at least I can detect any. The back wall is right behind the couch but hopefully, the Pioneer MCAC system has been to able fix any issues reasonably well.

Listening Impressions

It's a treat - with a sound stage that is wide and has depth. Though it all depends on the recording.

Other Comments

LR speakers are at least 3 feet away from the back and side walls and about 12' apart. The LR speakers are about 11'6" from the listening position. The Sonus Faber Concerto are placed inside the LR speakers. They are about 8' apart and 11' from the listening position still creating a wide sound stage that feels to extend beyond the main LR speaker to their left and right.

Other Components

Rotel 985Bx with Apple Airport Express to Airplay Sonus Faber Concerto for an alternate two-channel experience Ultra-link Platinum Series Excelsior MKII 10' cables Also, Boston Acoustics E60s just for fun, likely will put them as surrounds in the main system eventually. Not Perfect but works for me within my budget.
