I could have changed my flight, and listened into the wee hours of the morning if he had let me.
After spending some time talking, I have decided to build a dedicated 2 Ch room, as opposed to my multi purpose room. I will be consulting with him as to how to proceed with construction, and size/shape of the room. I have heard today what I was not sure could be achieved, and will haunt me for some time to come.
Cool.....good to hear! I did the same thing before I had Jim come to my house and perform his room play. I felt much the same way about his system that you did.......seen much more expensive setups but his really brought out the life in the music. It just sounded incredibly realistic. Designing a 2 channel room really is the way to go for a dedicated setup, you won't be sorry!
