Just getting a minute to post here. (Very busy weekend.) I essentially want to "second" all of the nice things already said. Not only were Robert's near-field listening rooms a new experience for me, I was surprised at how the move from one of the back 2 seats to the front & center "sweet spot" made such a drastic difference. Instead of the music being "in your face" by being so close, it (the sound) actually moved further away from you (behind the speakers) and soundstage opened up and spread wider. It was a very interesting agenda, that had to make people re-think the possibilities of audio in small rooms. Best of all, Robert & Roberta proved to be very gracious hosts to Friday night's meeting. Thanks for opening your home to all of us.
