Tweaks:	Jon Risch Acuostic Panels at first and second reflection points and front wall. Foam (for right now) absroptive panels at first ceiling reflection point. Absorbant triangular panels in room corners 1x6 tongue & groove knotty pine wall panels. Becasue of the varied spacing between the panel joints, tongue in groove panels provide a modicum of bass trap effect in the room. Of course the room in NOT soundproof because of this. Black Diamond Racing cones under Pre and CDP Shadow T. Gato, the acoustic cat.

Room Comments/Treatments:	It's the room, stoopid! Adding the Jon Risch panels elevated my room/system to a new level. It was like a major component upgrade. Next task is to contsruct JR bass traps to tame the LF modes in my room. QRD's for the rear wall will follow

System Goals/Comments:	I vowed not to change any equipment until I was convinced I had gotten the room right. The more 'right' I get the room, the more I find I don't want/need to upgrade a thing (Ha!)
System Strengths:	Dynamic, rhythmic, tonally accurate fantastic transient response and palpability. Awesome bass response.
System Weaknesses:	I don't know, I like it a lot. I knew that i was "there" when I listened to a "demo" in my dealer's listening room and knew that my rig sounded better!
