When we did renovations to the house after a lightning strike and fire a few years ago we decided to turn what had originally been a second floor summer sleeping porch into a four season room as an art studio for my wife. It is a really interesting space, 10' x 28' with 21 windows. Half of it stands on brick pillars over the driveway, the remainder runs over the back section of the kitchen across the back of the house and it is accessed through a bedroom. It really is a tough room to photograph due to the shape and the amount of stuff my wife has in there at any one given time! You can see the exterior of it on the left in the following photo:

A studio needs some tunes, right? My wife didn't want anything big so initially I put together a system with an Advent 300 receiver, Sony five-disc CDP and a pair of Minimus 7W speakers. Then the tuner section in the Advent went wonky (Punker X has it) so I came up with something else from the stash - Nakamichi ST-7 tuner, Yamaha CA-1000 integrated with the CDP and speakers remaining the same. I've tried to talk my wife into some slightly bigger and better speakers as the CA-1000 is rather overkill, but to no avail. As long as she's happy I guess! With a bit of boost on the bass end the system really sounds pretty good, actually.
