All the rooms at Munich are large.
What struck me, and I will mention in my podcast was just how there was literally no consensus on what were the great rooms. It was all over the map like never before.

With all of the tables/arms I’ve had in my room, I’ve struggled with rumble. My spongy subfloor is likely to blame.
I’ve tried everyone from SRA platforms to isolation devices. Nothing worked.
I recently added this little product and it’s...

The Studio Plus really improves upon everything already great with the Minuet. The larger panel size and external crossover make it ideal for a medium to larger room, so 17 x 25 to 20 x 25. Beyond that, Auditorium and the Hall really fill the...

More notes: NOT a subtle improvement: the entire presentation has more body, "weight", depth, and expansiveness. :celebrate008_2:
