From the text of the link he provided:
"A few decades ago, his father - world-renowned harpsichordist and pianist, Igor Kipnis - asked a close friend (who was also a world famous architect and acoustician) to design and build him a very special room: a 210 square meter, double-story music studio and media library. He was clearly in need of such a room in order to house his large keyboard instrument collection, musical manuscripts, and enormous record & tape libraries, which he used in his daily profession as a performer, musicologist, and raconteur. After the completion of this grand music studio, Igor often played mini-recitals and hosted small benefit concerts in this room for invited friends and guests to join him and enjoy the wonderful classical melodies while also raising needed money for charity. It also soon became a great little home theater featuring an early Henry Kloss “NovaBeam” 3-Gun CRT projector with a 6.5 foot screen as it’s centerpiece. However, Igor could not have possibly imagined that within a few decades, his son, Jeremy would be equally attracted to the magic of this room, and recreate it as a complete statement demonstrating what home theater is really supposed to be all about!"
