I did have my dream house, and I had a dedicated living listening space we had a piano, a set of drums, electric guitars, bass guitars and amplifiers too. When I bought this stereo system I lived in a dormitory in Holland. This was built with all Adirondack Timber , it had a cathedral ceiling and 2nd floor loft suite and bath. Great acoustics, we didn't need high fidelity amplification or any sound treatments. The natural reverb was Church.
