Things are settling in quite nicely now. Speaker position is likely at its best and they are well broken in.
Now on to tuning additional room treatments.

Craig,
I'm extremely happy for you and congratulations on what is sure to be a massive upgrade of an already killer system. The room and setup itself looks absolutely stunning as well! |

Well done Craig! You’ve created a beautiful feel to your room in what started as something that was somewhat challenging no doubt.

Brought out my Kharma’s older cousins to play for a few weeks. Infinity RS IIa from ~1985 and Revel Performa F52 from ~ 2003. The Revels are very surprising and the RS IIa’s are screaming for some Pink Floyd - although they need a bit of TLC.
