TNT Flexy Rack
Room Size (LxWxH): 21' x 14' x 8.5'
Room Comments/Treatments: Room is dedicated but very lively with suspended wood floors...I put down a large tan carpet, then a smaller oriental on top, and added one set each of Eigth Nerve Corners and Seams. Still a work in progress.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): I gravitate mostly to indie rock and jazz trios.
System Goals/Comments: Should be slightly warm, 3 dimentional and seductive.
System Strengths: Nice, seductive, rich sound

Bass impact from the AES gear is surprisingly good. The Modwright added a much needed "boogie factor".
System Weaknesses: Room is live

Slight amount of tube glare on some recordings - vibration treatment has helped a little.

Bass is pretty good but the extreme low frequencies are missing
Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: Skiing, philosophy, travel, football, taking naps.
