Room Comments/Treatments:	Long shallow room, near-field listening (ears aprox 6'from panels) with speakers aprox 20" from back wall, and 48" from each side wall...
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	This room is used almost exclusively for jazz.
System Goals/Comments:	Very happy with the sound in this system... it's not changing unless something breaks!
System Strengths:	Absolutely crystal clear, "3D"like imaging - especially sound stage depth! Near perfectly flat response down to high 30s... all I need for the type of music I use it for. BTW, at this listening distance, peak volume (usual Quad worry) is MORE than adequate!
System Weaknesses:	Could go lower, I've tried subs, but they do more harm than good on this system.
