RE: " I read Magico's listening room has an astonishing -24 db noise floor"

I doubt that number of -24dB.

Mostly because the Guinness Book of Records attested that the Orfield Lab anechoic chamber in Minneapolis is indeed the quietest place on Earth with a noise floor of -9.4dBA.

Anechoic chambers do not make good listening environments.
The accepted ideal RT60 time for listening is around 0.25 - 0.5 seconds (it does depend on room size). Far from anechoic but less reverberant than most living rooms.
