Beautiful listening rooms

Can’t believe the thread doesn’t include a high-end room sporting brothel-style wall-to-wall red carpet paired with Kandy Kitchen wainscotting.

He’s also sitting in a Herman Miller Eames chair. Timeless creation. 

I wonder what horn/??? lies behind the speaker grill. I bet they sound good too.

Well add it if you like it so much, you haven't been shy to this point, no need to stop now. :-)

I saw that thread years ago and marveled at ... the acoustic nightmare most of those rooms must be. More reflective surfaces than a solar thermal farm.

tablejockey: I completely agree that the visual aesthetics of one's listening room are important (unless you listen in total darkness). Still, jssmith has a point: many of the pictured rooms look acoustically dubious. Acoustic concerns have to come first.

My listening room has a huge picture window with a view of mountains, valley, and a stream below—but that view is BEHIND me when I'm listening. Jim Smith suggests that's as it should be; that light streaming in creates a psychoacoustic effect of "glare" (tip #46) if you're looking directly at it. Still, if I could look at my view when listening, I would. It's just that it would be too difficult to set the system up that way. 

dekay: great photo! But where's the sweet spot?! Can you tell me (maybe in a DM) how to insert a photo here, without it's being in a URL? I know this question has been asked before, but I don't remember the answer.
