Description

Well, I have had the room for a year and have resisted any big changes or additions. Finally, I have got around to measuring the room response and have ordered some minimal room treatments from Echobusters, including two Echobusters absorptive panels for the first reflections from my Kharmas and a pair of Phase-4 bass absorption/diffusion towers. Also, we finally ordered a sofa to go in the back of the room, behind the Barcelona chairs. Once they arrive, I should post pictures.

I do want to add a TT, but perhaps a new SUV may be required instead.

System edited: Equipment arriving slowly this week ... we now have music ... And I think it was somewhat quicker than Lakefrontroad's set-up.

Rcr,

For the immediate future, I will only be using 2-channel sound for movies. My room is wired with in-wall wiring for future side channels, 2 rears and 4 possible sub positions. So, all I will be doing is connecting the audio out from a Denon DVD player into one of the RCA inputs of the DCC2.

I had previously asked in a thread whether the DCC2 had a home theater pass-through input and how could I possibly integrate it with a multichannel receiver or separate pre/pro and MC amps. I did get a few suggestions:

Oh, and I forgot they still need to put a railing on the patio deck. So, I better keep the patio door locked.
