System Strengths:	See system goals. I'm there.
System Weaknesses:	I have a rise is spl output from 4k to 8k that I'm having a hard time evening out. Tried repositioning speakers several times but can't seem to tame these frequencies. Doing the room treatment thing is the answere but might be tough due to WAF.
