Description

This is the listening room. Two channel stereo is the goal and the surround system shares the space with video. The dimensions are 17 feet at the front, 9 feet tall, and 25 feet deep. Acoustical treatments are hand-made quilts and tapestries, additional area rug on carpet, and acoustical panelling towards the rear. Also, behind the listening area is my Baldwin 7 foot grand piano.

If you get a chance I highly recommend auditioning the Edge amps also. When I got mine I was afraid they were going to be a step down from the Pass monos I had. I sold the monos because of the heat the put out- I live in Phoenix and don't really need my room any hotter. I ended up actually preferring the Edge.

What a gorgeous, well thought out set-up. I bet it is a joy to listen/watch!
I read your thread about bi-amping the VSA's. I do not know the answer to that, but make certain the Jr's are bi-wired and not using the umbilical cable that came with the speakers- they are only included to "get you by" until you can bi-wire. My VSA Sr IV's are bi-wired using HT Magic with spectacular results. I use a single stereo Edge amp for power.
