Yeah, but the selfish bastard only put one chair in the room, for another kidney you can sit on the floor.

Guy must hear better than a dog! So many more worthwhile things to spend that kind of cash on!

I found his discussion of the measured response of the room quite interesting--on one hand, the room sounds awesome...  On the other hand, the room has a peak and a null that are close to 6db, which should be quite noticeable (well, in a sweep, maybe not in real music).  You can tell by his discourse that he is bothered by it.  Ha.  He should have never had it measured--now his nervosa will have him thinking "what if..."   

Very cool to see what you can do with unlimited funds...  And a desire to listen to music instead of be part of your family.  I would never see my wife/dogs/family if I had that room.  A few years ago I got rid of the "dedicated listening room" and it was the best thing I ever did.  Otherwise, I was always holed up in a room with odd soft things placed every which way, listening to tunes like I was a crackhead in need of a fix.  Now I just do it in the confines of a normal domestic household

Ducati,

I noticed this as well and wondered why the modeling software did not pick this up?  I'm wondering if the software used by these "designers" takes into acount the various properties of structural components, materials, and boundary conditions.  I assume it takes at least the density into account as well as other linear material properties. My structural codes are much more accurate as 6dB is significant.  You would think his room would be ruler flat with as much money spent (although I'd bet this is nearly impossible).

Excuse my ignorance but what's the air compressor for the turntable?

that's amusing... if Howard Hughes was an audiophile

It's the latest and greatest pneumatic driven turntable.  Gives that nice airyness to the top end

I guess this guy doesn't have any friends...
