Beautiful listening rooms

It's all relative.  You either like the shared space living room / gen purpose room or a dedicated space.  The latter is my preference hands down. 

Some of the the examples in the link are really nice others not so much. 

References to "disturbing" with these dedicated spaces are a bit much IMHO, but again its ALL personal preference

Rooms like Mike Levine's are at the upper end / extreme types which I absolutely love, but there are many dedicated spaces that are large existing / spare rooms (not built from scratch for audio purposes) that are fantastic > which is what many of us have or use.  Yes trapping, diffusion, clouds etc.. can all be done tastefully and beautifully which again I'm all in on for sure.

Ultimately, in a 2chnl setup, there is only one main LP / sweet spot.  That's indisputable IMHO.  Sure you can have friends and multiple seating etc,,for entertaining, which is great.  When I want to listen and get the best experience its my one chair which is the money spot - I'd have it no other way.

The brick room reminds me of the basement bar in Inglorious Bastards.  Looks like it could have been filmed there.

Thanks, snilf!

I'm drawn to the large MBL rig, having never heard them...what a setting! 

Local audio bud Chris (retired home builder, age 78, still practicing & playing sax in band) built his modest home near the mouth of Maine's Androscoggin River, near the coast.  His long driveway (Strawberry Lane) winds downhill near the river's edge.  Nature sounds prevail.  His front wall is glass (tuned with Marigo Tuning dots.)  Bald Eagle sightings and other treats are commonplace.  Wife Mary and I are visiting them later today to collect some vinyl and potentially some Native American artifacts, often found near his property.  My audio friends are continually interesting and generous.  We share a wonderful hobby.  More Peace, Pin
