Description

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.
