Jay's rooms almost done - getting nervous

@emergingsoul thank you. Where do I start? I'm a firefighter and I have a degree in architecture. I have a very active life as a firefighter, designing and building.  I love music and this space gives me peace.  I wanted it to reflect the countryside. The bison skull is from a local bison farm. All the wood with the exception of the floor was all sourced locally from my property and nearby farms. 

Acoustically my room isn't acoustically correct but I intend on correcting what I can with ceiling panels I've been considering. Unfortunately I can't really do much of anything on the walls given the interior finishes. But I did utilize 300 year old beams and split logs to create diffusors. And I have Rockwool Safe and Sound behind 3 walls. 

This room was never really meant to be perfect but over the last couple of years I've become increasingly interested in HiFi. And this is a problem because I'm now forever analyzing everything - components, spkrs, interconnects,  power cords,  USB cables. So where do you draw the line?

These forums have been educational and I've connected with some fine people.

Nevermind acoustics keep your room as it is....

Do not modify it too much...

Try to reach a minimally  acoustically satisfying experience and stop there ...

It is a very relaxing sight...

Congratulation fire_water !

Talk to experienced acousticians for whom it is their core line of work. You can retain thr aesthetics/decor of your room and take things up several notches.

Grimani Systems (Anthony Grimani, Acoustic Fields (i have their stuff), Poes Acoustics, etc are examples.

How do you like the bacch system, always been curious about this system but it seems to be a pain in the neck to implement.  I rely on ChatGPT for everything in my life these days and it has some interesting comments about your system, I included the first comment but there was a lot more it offered about each component it's all fascinating.

per chatgpt , only included first couple of comments.

‘That is a laboratory.

In a 25 × 30 ft room (750 sq ft), you have enough volume to support serious acoustic scale. The question is not quality of components — many of them are excellent — but integration and philosophy. Let’s break it down properly.

Daniel Hertz Anton Speakers

Ultra-high-end, tuned as a system with Daniel Hertz electronics. Designed to be emotionally engaging rather than strictly neutral. When paired with Maria amp + Master Class software, it’s a closed-ecosystem voicing.

Strong personality speaker.

I watched a recent video of his and the echo in the room was clearly evident.  Not sure why he did not consult with an acoustic engineer to build out the room and have any room treatment as part of the design and integrated into the build  Maybe he did and I just missed that part or it could have been prohibitively expensive.  Just seems like if you’re going for ultra high end that’s how you’d build a room commensurate with the intent.
