| Room Size (LxWxH): | 19.5 x 14.5 x 7.5 |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | The room is somewhat close to the "golden rule" and room opens to my delightful kitchenette thingee to one side so used cheap RPG foam panels folded into the one corner as a corner trap and more at 45 degree rear reflection to try to dead end the backside. It did help but still experimenting. |

| System Strengths: | paid for |
| System Weaknesses: | The the amp batteries and of course want the Maggie 1.6's. The amp will only play about 4 CD's well before they have to be recharged for 6 hours. The batteries are four 12 volts wired for 24 volt output and I am thinking of wiring up to two car batteries to see how long they will play. |
