Room Comments/Treatments:	Room has hardwood floors and large floor-to-ceiling river-rock fireplace. Acoustically a larger space than dimentions indicate due to two half hieght walls and larger entrance. Room biased toward the bright side.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Jazz ; Easy Lstening( no Kenny G ) ; Classical ; Opera
System Goals/Comments:	Newly renovated room meant as dedicated listening - reading - TV free space.
System Strengths:	The system synergy has taken on a relaxing enjoyable tone with the addition of the Shanling. Looks cool with the Jadis and Shanling lit up at night( nothing to do with system sound, but it still looks cool). The Tannoy's compliment the Jadis very nicely. The Denon repalced an AMC unit and has returned the pleasure of FM back to us.
System Weaknesses:	The acoustic space was a bit bright at times. New hardwood floors allowed sound from anywhere in house to be heard-bummer. This was attenuated with the addition of some more furniture and large cushions. Sometimes it is hard to remember that the room is as much a part of the system, and some room tuning may be in the works.
Video/HT System: None
