    Good Night :shh:

    Imagine you have a castle or big mansion, maybe with a fireplace;

    I wonder which speakers or amps etc would you use, just dream you have money enough, and can buy very good stuff;

    what do you select

    Good Night :love:

    Ah, yes...
    One with a full, soft, and warm sound. Smooth top end and a tight bottom end. Liquid midrange, and a sweet but raw way with vocals that makes the experience magical.

    I do not believe I would change my present set up for use in a castle.

    How many rooms are there in a castle? I'd need a dungeon system... and one for each turret. Maybe an outdoor set-up for the moat.

    The castles I have been in I would not want to live in.

    After I upgrade my amp, I will be complete. Not that I don't enjoy it now....a monkey that flips 45 rpm disks would be cool.

    We had a big old stone and masonry house, several houses ago. The walls were a foot thick, of old poured concrete circa 1911. It was very hard to run an electrical wire or install a mounted light fixture-- I wound up resorting to commercial electricians, and even then, not so easy.
    Acoustically, such a structure would need an inner shell, of wood or something else in the room- stone and concrete are really unforgiving.
    I liked the gothic gloominess of the house- my wife was a little creeped out.
    I had wanted to live in Tuxedo Park next-- it's a bunch of old mansions out about 50 miles from Manhattan, pretty much in the middle of nowhere. She thought it was way too creepy-- but it also wasn't practical, given that both of us were going into the city regularly at the time.
    Care, upkeep, lot's of money. The thing about Tuxedo was, the houses were relatively cheap (by comparison to Manhattan or a comparable neighborhood in LA-- say Holland Park?). But, once you were there, you were pretty committed-- those places didn't turn over too fast.
    That kind of place is now beyond me- but at the time, it was cool -- i really liked the odd hallways, back stairway, the puzzling assortment of servant rooms, the steam punk equipment that was original to the house- e.g. a steam powered (coal?) cast iron clothes drier that was the size of a box truck in the basement; the clothes would be put on rails that pulled out as part of vertical drawers.
    Love those big old creepy places. Too much for me now in all respects.

    The main luxury with having space is being able to get a decent room. Double-stud 12" center construction, raked walls and ceiling with a curved back wall. Diffusor panels and curtains where needed. Poured concrete floor. Baffled HVAC vents. Double-door entry. Dedicated breaker box.
    Eames chair and ottoman sitting dead center.

    After that - probably the fanciest Magnepans I can get a hold of (30.7s?) along with a custom infinite baffle plenum-style 8x15" subwoofer system vented into the room.
