My room size (hence room conditioning) is the weakest link I feel. The room is very large, it is approx. 40ft (wide) X 23-ft (deep) X 10.5-ft (high) with opening into bedroom area separated glass sliding wall on one side and wall of large glass windows on the other end.

I still don't own a digital camera. A friend dropped by yesterday who just happened to have her digital camera with her. Lucky for me, I finally get to put up my system for you to see and hopfully to get some feedback.

The image quality as well as composition could have been better but I'm sure you get the point. Unfortunatly I'm not lucky enough to have a dedicated room so the placement of gear is not as flexible. My wife thinks audio racks are too unsightly, I tend agree most of the time; the blue credenza is our compromise. I would have liked the speakers another foot or 2 away from the back wall (currently the space between back wall and back of spkrs is 2.5 feet) but it didn't pass the WAF test.

On solo listening sessions I turn the loveseat around to face the system but normally the loveseat is positioned perpendicular to the system facing other chairs across (see last picture).

One of these days I would like to replace the AirTight amp with something like a Tenor OTL stereo block plus add a DAC to the system such as EmmLab DCC-2 and possibly upgrade the ICs.

My music taste is all over the map -- it includes many of the standard stuff like the accoustics, vocals, chamber music. I like strings instruments, deep voices and sound of viola and cello like many of you). I also like indian classical music, groove, lounge, world music etc.

I sincerely appreciate your comments and perspectives.

Thanks
