Description

My wife & I are professional musicians/ professors. Our system in its present form is the result of 5 yrs. trial/error. It may not be the end-game yet, but it delivers a beautiful synthesis of clarity, transparency and warmth. As fellow enthusiasts, I welcome your thoughts and suggestions.

Love the gear! You're obviously accomplished and successful musicians - not the starving artist types . . . As bass modes accumulate in the corners, have you considered moving your component pieces to say either side of the piano or side wall? If you haven't already done so, may I suggest you invest in an acoustical measurement tool and room treatments (e.g. Diffusion, Absorption, Reflection)? Dr. Floyd Tooles book is a great read on the physics of small room acoustics which walks you through may concepts that as musicians you will relate to and recognize. Any pictures of the rest of the room? Congrats on a great system.
