Description

I have moved to a new home we had built the music room is in my basement . The basement was finished by me and a builder friend it has a craft room for my wife a sitting room and my music room . The main area is 16 ft. Wide By 25 ft. Long And a area on the left side back of room 5 ft. Wide By 16 ft. Long. This is a nice large room I am still working on speaker and sub woofer placement for the best sound .i am also working on placement of acoustic treatments bass traps etc. there is always fine tuning and a bunch of small tweaks to work on to improve the sound ( does it ever stop ) . I am retired now so I don't think there will be any big changes to the system now unless I fall in to some big money LOL. i guess if I had some extra cash I would upgrade the Reha to signature ,maybe upgrade the caps in my power amp and upgrade caps in the speaker crossover but I am happy with the sound I have now. Music I love folk music ,Grateful Dead,classical ,johnny cash ,tori Amos a little blues , Pink Floyd, some jazz , no rap grunge or heavy metal
