Focal Grande Utopia EM in black finish

Analog music sources, Technics SP10 MK3 and Studer A810 Archival half + quarter track IEC and NAB.

Digital music source is Macintosh Mini, OCZ Solid State HD, Amarra Pro, Pure Music and Play software.

Allnic H3000 and L3000 pre and phono into a single pair of VTL 750.

Computer USB cable to Ayre is Purist Audio, all other cables are Purist Audio 25th Anniversary, plus Proteus Praesto and Purist 25th Anniversary AC.

The entire space (18' X 31') is acoustically treated with RPG panels and/or fiberglass over triple reinforced walls and ceiling. Floor is lamination beams over steel plates and two 5/8 epoxy floor. Above that floats 1.5" of concrete and half inch float for India multi color slate tiles.

All the reinforcement and acoustic treatment goes unnoticed, due to Whisper Wall rail system and fine textured acoustic cloth covering everything. In these photos (and often in person) it passes for painted sheetrock.

Room was designed by RBDG. The entire space was torn out to bare dirt floor and open studs nine years ago.

Thanks for looking.

Dmurfet, Sorry, I just realized I did not respond to your comments about my room treatment.

I have a good friend in the acoustics business who offered his services for free while my room was under construction. He and I worked together years ago when I was employed as a factory rep for several high end audio manufacturers.

Following his plan, the placement of RPG panels, absorption treatment and construction methods were given to my contractor and he, along with a local acoustical treatment company, completed the job to specifications.

The acoustical treatment company is a customer of mine that does primarily recording studios. I've photographed dozens of their projects and was totally impressed with their quality, which included award winning designs for the Morton Meyerson Symphony Center (here in Dallas).

I am very pleased with the results as I have a wife and son and wanted the living room to sound excellent and be comfortable to all that sit down to listen with us.
