My listening room is a difficult one. The listening room is open to a large hallway, the breakfast area and the kitchen. I sit about 12 feet from the speakers in equilateral. I have gone through many trials with room treatments and I have arrived at a configuration that works well finally. The treatments are DIY and GIK Acoustics. GIK is very good, and a great value in treatments.

I listen to my system on average 4 hours a day. Most of the time it is background while I cook or work, but I try to sit and listen and relax (and escape reality) for a while every chance I get. Work keeps me away far too often now, it is unfortunate.

At this point, I am satisfied with my system and would be happy with it this way forever. This in mind, I am always looking for ways to improve the system. I just like trying new things! What better way to learn more? I have been saying this for years, but I still change things occasionally.

I use TIDAL streaming service for quite a bit of listening and it has revolutionized my listening habits. I love being able to listen to music that is new to me quicker than I could find it on Amazon.

Feel free to comment or make suggestions. I am always looking for input, just ask Aball, he has to endure my inquisitions quite frequently! Many thanks to Arthur, without him this would be impossible!
