| Room Size (LxWxH): | 14' x 13' x 10' |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | Can't do anything about the size of the room, I get what they give me. The layout of the room does not allow for much treatment, but just recently added Sonex corner treatments. |

| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Female Vocals (80%) favorites include: Natalie Merchant, Tracy Chapman, Joan Osbourne, Sarah McLachlan,...other music includes New Age, some rock, a little jazz (collection currently experiencing a huge growth spurt)...yeah that's about it |
| System Goals/Comments: | I'll need a better room to improve on the sound. Maybe get a rack when I get the money and the space. |
| System Strengths: | I enjoy the sound. After listening to higher-end gear, I know there is better out there, but satisfied now (I really don't have the money to upgrade even if I wasn't satisfied:0)) |
| System Weaknesses: | The squarish shape of the room. Lacks true dynamics and deep bass. Little room treatment. |
| Video/HT System: Integrated | |
| TV/Projector: | Magnavox 25" television- about 10yrs. old, but not a bad picture (just lacks the newer video inputs) |
| Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: | See above, everything is run off the Sim integrated. |
| Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): | See above. |
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Toshiba DVD player (SD1600)- not bad for the little use it gets |
| Other HT Gear: | Popcorn and beer on occasion;0) |
| Comments on HT System: | It lets me watch the news and the occasional video, what else could I want? Well maybe a HDTV...one day... |
