| Tweaks: | lots |
| Room Size (LxWxH): | 14 x 30 x 9.5 |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | Floor is 1/2" ply with lots of screws into the joists, then 1/8" neoprene, then oak flooring. The neoprene helps reduce the resonant bump around 100 Hz caused by the small crawlspace under the floor. |

| System Goals/Comments: | Some day will find a pair of Churchills. If you see a pair for sale, I want them. |
| System Strengths: | Astonishing imaging, fast fast fast. |
| System Weaknesses: | The Stirlings are a little bright, so a -2 dB shelf EQ for mids helps. |
| Video/HT System: Separate |
| TV/Projector: | Vizio 52" - great picture, but buggy; it shuts down frequently |
