The volume at listening position is very good, lowrider57…..Not only is it too loud for my tastes before the dial is at 11 o clock, but low level sound is as good as with any system I’ve owned.  As per your description, I’m interpreting this canop...

…”How high is the ceiling,…..”…11’ at its peak…typical, barn style vaulted ceiling (both walls and ceiling are fitted with fiberglass insulation and dry walled).  However, the system on this particular short wall is situated directly underneath a ...
