Room Comments/Treatments: No dedicated ones at this point.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Sing and songwriters, small acoustical setups, various rock, small scale classical and "cozy jazz".
System Goals/Comments: I'm trying to achieve a natural reproduction of the human voice as well as classical instruments. Most of all a liquid midrange with natural warmness, together with clear hights and an articular base. Reproduction should be open, effortless and dynamic with real-life transients.
System Strengths: Seductive and truly musical in my ears. Shines when reproducing well recorded pieces of instruments and single voices in smaller setups.
System Weaknesses: Lacks some dynamic and lower base. Somewhat smallscale(perhaps most due to room limitations).
Video/HT System: Separate
TV/Projector: Sony KL-W502 widescreen rearprojection TV
Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: Sony TA-E 9000ES processor

Comments on HT System: Lacks some dynamic, impact and lower base. Also not as "accurate" as life. Misses some of that bigscale drama experienced in bigger setups.

Work as an Computer Networking consultant for the moment.
