Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Belkin PureAV PF40 power console for all except Bryston and Anthem components. |
Tweaks: | Running all speakers (even the fronts) as "small" w/ 80hz crossover value due to prominent room nodes caused by cement walls on short walls. |
Room Size (LxWxH): | 21.5 x 21.5 x 8' |
Room Comments/Treatments: | Drapes over glass door walkout and 3 windows. Armstrong Optima 'Open Plan' foil #3353 suspended ceiling tile. Numerous homemade 2'x4' acoustic absorbers. |
Music Preferences and Comments: | |
Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Rock (RUSH, the FIXX, Living Colour) and Classical soundtracks (Elliot Goldenthal) |
System Goals/Comments: | Acquisition of SACD player, completion of DIY acoustical room treatments, and acquiring the new Magnepan CCR. |
System Strengths: | A new world of bass enjoyment has occurred for me, thanks to my REL handling the bass. Hello Geddy Lee, nice to "hear" you. |
System Weaknesses: | My biggest compromise was to run the fronts in "small" mode crossing at 80Hz, using the REL in the "back" of the room to voice the bass. This successfuly dealt w/ the pronounced room nodes occuring along the long axis. |
