This is the bedroom system or system number 3, if you are counting. Speaker placement is not great by a longshot. The speakers are placed on top of a single bookcase (70" high) about 6 inches apart and about 12 inches from the rear wall.
I experiment the most with the speakers in this system. I use only smaller bookshelf types and try to keep the cost under $500, with the idea that I can much break even when I swap out and sell speakers.
The RR2150 Stereo Receiver is a state-of-the-art stereo receiver inspired by the art deco table radios of the past. Continuous Average Power: 100 watts per channel, 20 Hz - 20kHz,<0.03% THD, both channels driven into 8 ohms and 160 watts per channel, 20 Hz - 20kHz,<0.03% THD, both channels driven into 4 ohms.
Its both, thanks for the info. It might have been the room, but the sound to me was somewhat lean. Vocals sounded very nice but the sound was too upfront. Im in the middle of selling the Yamaha right now and sticking to a 2 ch rig for the moment. Thanks for the tip.
