Room Size (LxWxH):	5.5 m x 3.0 m x 2.4 m
Room Comments/Treatments:	Corner placement and near-field listening are my only real options due to the size and layout constraints of my new Tokyo apartment. There's a wool rug in front of the speakers.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Jazz, psychedelic trance and digidub, rock, classical, eclectic international music
System Goals/Comments:	Realistically, to just retain the system strengths and be able to still enjoy focused listening sessions, despite the compromises of my new room.
System Strengths:	In my former apartment, I enjoyed the clarity, soundstage and imaging of my well set up system. So I know that the system is capable of a lot, and am just worried about the damaging effects of compromised placement in my new place.
System Weaknesses:	I would enjoy even greater dynamics. I've got a hand me down REL sub that I'll play with once I've got the system up and running again in my new place.
Video/HT System: None
