| Room Comments/Treatments: | Room needs some tweaking as far as placement of speakers. Have a townhouse condo so it's hard to avoid placing speakers far enough apart and overstuffing room with glass tables, and furniture. They are placed 5.5 ft apart and I sit 7 feet away about 2.5 ft from rear wall. |

| System Goals/Comments: | Looking to collect more music (broaden tastes), more vinyl; eventually upgrade CD player when/if this one breaks. |
| System Strengths: | Full range of freq., quite dynamic, reasonably accurate and lively soundstage. |
| System Weaknesses: | Listening room needs acoustic treatment. I'll move in the next few years and then I can redo the next space to suit my needs. |
