Room Size (LxWxH):	22ft x 22ft x 10ft
Room Comments/Treatments:	The speakers look great with the Danish modern furniture, Fine art and art glass
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Nothing too assuming, background
System Goals/Comments:	To have a vintage/retro hi-fi that does not draw attention to itself and blends seamlessly with the decor.
System Strengths:	Most people don't even realize there is a stereo in the room. The Vintage 901s put out a very broad, diffuse sound field that is great for background music. Using the laptop to control everything allows streaming all sorts of great web-casts or playing CDs with the onboard combo drive.
System Weaknesses:	I would never attempt any sort of critical listening with this one...
Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	Designing and building prototype furniture and horn speakers systems
