There was a glitch with the forum server yesterday, and your photo seems to have disappeared into the depths of cyberspace, with no trace!

Please could you re-post the photos.

Thank you very much Stuart for the kind words and for all the help.
I don't have REW tests yet but definitely the room sounds great!
Hopefully soon will have more pictures and information.
