| Room Comments/Treatments: | Many of the components are quite old (BGW are from 1984, ADCOM 555 from 1985, Denon decks, HK Preamp and BOSS XO from 1987, Adcom 535 and Forte in 1990, Peeless SUBs, Dynaudio Sats and CD63SE from 1994. Used for parties only. All concrete room. Very live. no furniture but plastic chairs and a few tables for food and drinks, etc. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Rock, Jazz, Blues. |
| System Goals/Comments: | Loud and relaiable. For fun, parties, etc. This system was built using my older components and was started in 1985. |
| System Strengths: | Quite Neutral |
| System Weaknesses: | Bass. Bandpass bass does not mate well with sealed satellite but in this enviroment no one seems to notice. In fact we corner load the Peerless Subs to provide one note bass because that is what everyone seems to want. On quieter days we use only the Klipsch Forte and ADCOM 535. |
| Video/HT System: None | |
