Room Size (LxWxH):	19 x 15 x 8
Room Comments/Treatments:	4 Real Traps Bass Traps. 8 MSR Zsound Wood Diffusers, 4 on wall behind seating, 2 behind each speaker. Speakers are 5' out from the front wall. Room is not ideal but sounds ood. Above garage and not a regular rectangle. Starting at the front wall behind the speakers, for the 1st 4' into the room it is 11' wide. At that point it gets 3' wider to the left making it 14' wide. At 9' from the front wall it gets 1' wider to the right where the max width of 15' is reached. About 19' long with an 8' ceiling.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Jazz, blues, rock
System Goals/Comments:	Get some silk plants in corners.
System Strengths:	Sounds real good to me, but may not have a good reference to know what is possible. I've used Jim Smith's Get Better Sound and laser measurement to get speakers located precisely so that each is the same distance from ears and toed in exactly the same. Followed his method to locate chair and speakers.
System Weaknesses:	Having a home theater system in the same room with the screen and gear against the front wall behind the 2-channel speakers. All the HT gear is covered with heavy ceiling to floor drapes which helps.
