Description

A few months ago, I was able to move my 2-channel system to a room in the basement that measures 12' wide, 15' long, and 7' high. Now in the main living room upstairs, I do not particularly care if either of my boys knock over or damage the equipment as it is much less expensive.

It is a great relief off of my shoulders.

My goals for this system? Just to be able to relax for ~45 minutes every night and enjoy the music. Sorry, I am not much on flowery descriptions.
