Room Size

System Overview

Overall I feel I've found a really great synergy. It really sounds fantastic and I am surprised every time I listen. The 15w does leave a little to be desired in the bass but much is room problems. Did a recent cable downgrade to free up some $$ for the Copland and found these. They are a fantastic value and are as good as my Yamamuras. The recent addition of the bybees has really smoothed out the cd sound. Unbelievable what they do!! PS. the TV isn't hooked up. I sometimes run movies through the stereo from the tv's headphone jack.

Music Preferences

Classical and jazz. But these days listening to alot of vocals (female) because of the recent addition of the SET.

Room Description

Apartment room. Open to the dining/kitchen area and hall. Kinda sucks some of the sound down the hall but I use bookcases to minimize the damage. System recently moved from the long wall to the short wall with much success.
