Beautiful listening rooms

Aesthetically pleasing room & good sound is THE biggest challenge.

While I get having a "listening room", most just aren't guest friendly-something to have your non hi fi over friends over, for a sit in.  

Everyone's idea of a "good looking" room is different.  While not ideal, a windowless room and  sound treatment with audiophool gadgets is not my bag. Those one/two seat setups are especially disturbing.

A Home theater is completely different situation as far as windowless, sound reinforcement.

Get the best gear you can afford with speakers in the best location, minimal intrusive acoustic  treatment in a beautiful room is where it's at. 

Pour more drink/ingest more consumables  to get over audiophool deficit in your guest's glass to make it sound "better". 

Someone who can develop wall/ceiling sound damping/diffusion panels that are invisible and removeable would make a small fortune.

" the acoustic nightmare most of those rooms must be. More reflective surfaces than a solar thermal farm."

"Beyond hideous, a lot of these."

Last quote lifted from 1st page of the posts.

My thoughts are the same, looking beyond the actual rigs.

Most any design speaker IF allowed can be positioned to sound pretty good in those rooms. Mine is a cross between the first 2(rustic, actual living space, 100+ year craftsmanship-lots of wood/plaster and lots of windows-SQ nightmare)

Those setups however, likely would sound even more convincing in room #3 which appears to be a thought out dedicated space.

If it were my place- Studer playing a recording of early Beatles/Stones LIVE in #2 with proper beverage in hand

Imagining swingin in Franks era, you do the built in not too far from the bar.

"that sort of panel is do-able, but costs a larger fortune to do it."

asvjerry- is there someone/company doing this seemingly impossible feat?
