General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

I like what you've done with the place.

Really, I do.

Looks like absorption has been used in moderation, and your hard surfaces are almost all curved so that you get good scattering (diffusion) of reflected energy which promotes rich timbre and ambience. I think the speakers you chose are very appropriate for those acoustic conditions; a lot of speakers would like more absorption because their off-axis energy is poorly balanced.

I especially like the way your CD and record collection in the back third of the room doubles as diffusors. Marvellous idea! Hey everybody, let's buy more CD's and LP's and kill two birds with one stone!

I'm impressed with the attention devoted to the ceiling reflection. That's something I haven't played with yet.

Sure I'll never be able to have a room or system as good as Mike's but thank you Mike for inviting me into your home as much as the internet permits and letting me take a good, long look around.

If I may venture a couple of questions (my apologies if these are repeats of questions you've fielded before), but what kind of surface is on the walls in the corner quadrants behind the speakers? I'm guessing it's absorptive but can't tell. And, what's that chair?

Thanks,

Duke
