Thanks! Y'all are too kind, apparently I was "system of the week" a couple of weeks ago! :) Now I'm already contemplating a room re-arrangement and adding some diffusion on the rear sloping ceiling. Are we EVER done? :)

Уверен, у вас отличная система и хороший звук! комната сделана правильно, но есть (визуально) ощущение, что она несколько заглушена ... видимо пол не очень твердый? - пол из цельного дерева важен для хорошего правильного баса (не подходит ламинат и рыхлая стяжка)

Thank you! Actually, the wood floor is an old, solid Oak hardwood floor, but covered with a large rug. I've considered taking up the rug and exposing the wood, but worried about reflections. (There was previously a smaller rug in here, but I got a bigger one and liked the added damping. But now the room is basically over-damped, it's a bit studio "dead" sounding, but I've gotten used to it.
