In Reply to: RE: Quite the Listening Room! posted by The Dill on September 01, 2014 at 05:43:13
The listening chairs are like a movie theater, not a home!
Sterile, cold, non "lived in" feel.
Too many room treatments make for a "Padded Cell" or "Anechoic Chamber" environment.
I would not feel comfortable in there at all!
I like the dimly lit, smoky, night club, or comfortable homey type rooms.
Where are all the Lp's or Cd's to browse through ?

It's just not your style?
Mine neither. I'm setting up an 300B SET rig with LS3/5A mini-monitors in my workshop/ tool/ storage shed. I have garden tools as diffusers on one side and aluminum ladders on the other.
What's the resonant frequency of a shovel?
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.
...when you do it. Sounds like a great idea!
The listening room posted by the OP is not to my taste either. I've been in mausoleums that were cheerier.
I mean my God man a traction device to keep your head in the sweet spot would fit right in with that scene.
Give me rhythm or give me death!

I like to call out fat cats and BS dealers.

Thanks for making my OCD look a tad brighter/shinier.
The posse here will run you out of town on a rail.

Have you been in it?
Nope.
What do you know about the room treatments?
Nothing, because if you had researched SMT you wouldn't have said what you did.
The home theater seating is there because the system serves as both a 2-channel music system and as a home theater system. The level of attention to detail is mind boggling.
I would prefer a brighter, more spacious room, but he acknowledges the speakers are too big for the room. Dark colors are very desirable for home theater, though, and the reds and walnut are very tasteful.
All of that said, I can't wait to experience his new place, I'm guessing in a year or two, because knowing Rob, it will be absurdly good, off the scale.
To answer your question about where all the media is, it's in an adjacent room. Plus there is a music server.

So much music, so little time!
an offer to spend an evening at this place, snacking and listening, drinking and watching.
If the guy threw in the gear, he might find a buyer… but he'd probably lose money on that deal!

I must admit tho, not MY kinda room but still, pretty freekin awesome. I'm thinking Thelma Houston and Pressure Cooker's I've Got The Music In Me D2D LP would sound mighty fine.

Not the kind of room I'd want to build or or own.
Ha! I thought I had bought the only copy of that album ever sold.

I thought the point of his post was that it looks ugly as sin, which it is
Never trust an Atom, they Make Up everything!
Most all room treatments are way over rated, and look like crap!You can accomplish the same thing with intelligent room decor IMO.
Jim Smith does not believe in "costly room treatment", but what does he know.
Would a women feel comfortable in there? Or is that an all male audience?
Home theater should look like a home, not a cheap movie theater!
