Room Description

Set up with 2 rows of watching/listening seats. Generously sized room situated where it is reasonably isolated from the rest of the house, though any movie blockbuster played at theatre volumes currently goes through the entire house.

Acoustic Treatment

Bass Traps in 2 corners - want more Acoustic panels at first reflections for FR and FL Wollen mat in front of seating position Heavy drapes on front wall Bookshelf on rear wall

Listening Impressions

Very large and enveloping sound. Not just my impressions, but friends with large stero system say the same. Even when it is playing just in stereo. Lumpy frequency respoinse at listening position and huge differences in bass reponse around the room. Best streaming is using the Tidal app for Chromecast (HDMI) on HD Material. Streaming movies gives hugely variable results. Video in particular is seriously inferior to playing a 4 K from bluray or material on an attached SSD Hard Drive
