Beautiful listening rooms

I'm not a fan of the altar effect. Makes me uncomfortable.

 

It started out as software, but quickly turned to hardware.

 

For me the rooms go from "very cool, but not something I would do", to "I WANT!!!!" Living in relatively small Manhattan apartments for so many years makes me appreciate large and fairly sparse rooms. I think the real challenge is acoustically treating the room and making it look good. There are some very creative room treatments here.

 

Looks like a Vermeer painting or the room Michelangelo would have if he were into hi-fi.

 

you can also buy a mogwai for your son.

 

YEP. Folks with these gigantic rigs need more music....

 

This works for me. But again need more music (maybe out of frame), and not just digital files.

 

Wow awesome thread! Love every picture. I really don't get those that "hate" anything in these pics, they're cool.

I don't have the means to do anything like many of these photo's but I don't care. It's cool to see. I work in the upper 1% communities in Florida and am often impressed and dazzled by what money can do. But it hasn't made me jealous or covet at all. When I'm in a 40,000 square foot home with a two mile long drive way made of solid slabs of granite I'm not thinking it's unfair and I should have this... I'm usually thinking about what I'll eat for diner and what record I'll put on.

 

I love this one, but mostly for the shelves and the Tannoys.

Earlier on in this thread, there was a photo of a room _full_ of Audio Note equipment that also made me (partially) envious; I wouldn't have that much equipment, but I'd certainly like some of it.
