In this episode, Darren and Duncan discuss the needs of both rooms, and talk about the ideal conditions all of our rooms should aspire to.Two listener questions are tackled, one about taming a system’s forwardness with subwoofers, and another about crafting a taller soundstage…. possibly with subwoofers.The album pick this week comes from a guitarist from Sweden and is a mellifluous audiophile treat.
