Charles, your room looks great… and as if you put a lot of thought and effort into it.

I should take pics of the room. It’s quite good! I’m fortunate. We have measured with a room correction unit and it is quite good. 30x17…9 Ft ceilings. Rugs and appropriate furniture. Curtains. Very solid. It’s a living room so not going to egg carton it up but I’m happy with it….as is my wife

I'm a roller skater, so sometimes I like music at home really loud. That's Jennifer. She's a fantastic skater. She came with Antonio but I stole her from him for the skate session, ha, ha! I skated with her the whole night. Best Charles

Charles, I hadn’t thought of any active correction. I hooked up a Mac men room correction just as a test….after setting it up for correction, we did an A/B with the bypass to test the room. It’s not a pure audiophile listening room….it is a living room with a pool table…but the A/B showed that it is quite good. My wife has been kind enough to put up with our living room showcasing my stereo, vinyl collection and a pool table, so I will probably live with the room as is. As for Magicos, I have been listing to Cremonese Extreme and Magicos for a while now trying to choose my next speaker. After an in home demo, I chose the Magicos! Ironic as the next day I saw your comment about my speakers. Great Ears thing alike!! Thank you for your comments
