This system resides in a fairly large room 22'x23'with cathedral ceilings. All wall and ceiling surfaces are covered in rough finished Pine.
This system morphed from stereo, to home theater and then back to stereo focus again. But I believe I have captured the best of both worlds. I intend to upgrade the Arcam FMJ DV-27 to DVD Audio in the next year.
The Audio Research Pre and Lexicon provide great sound and flexability within the system.
I just bought a new house that has pine paneling in the room as you do. I have purchased some 802's for my system that will be arriving in a few days, I can't wait. The problem is, the room is very live. I setup my current Kef C80's in there and they sound terrible. I just moved from an apartment where they sounded their absolute best in the 18 years that I owned them. I was very disappointed and I know it has to do with the room. What did you do, if anything to acoustically deaden the room?
