Good sounding room Bas?

Sorry Bas, but this room does not look like a listening room for me, at least not for pleasure. It looks a bit overdamped, more like a mastering studio (without the tools). Olthough the room is beautiful within itself, I doubt that I could listen for an extended period without getting claustrophobical feelings. This looks like a demo room of a highly sophisticated highend company, something which gives me a headache. I can almost hear the "hifi sound" in this room. Is it musically satisfying? Did you listen yourself?

[Bas Horneman]

Did you listen yourself?

No did you? It seems to me that you have more pre-conceived ideas about the sound of the room than I have. Because I have no idea about the sound of the room.

But I do know that this room was made specifically for listening and that he spent months of research. Apart from the the fact that audiophiles spend thousands on cables but little on the room. The reason I posted this picture is purely for visual enjoyment.

Did I say that? Of course not, but I have been in similar rooms. It is perfectly ok that you like that room, do not get me wrong, I just expressed my feelings (I also looked at the preposterous webpage). But do you use your loudspeakers in such overdamped rooms?

I really don't feel like discussing the acoustic properties of a room I have never been to. Especially since I have zero knowledge of room acoustics.

That room looks bigger than my house!

Correction. This room was designed by Rives Audio. Or more specifically Chris Huston, of 'Rives Audio' who was a musician, a recording engineer, a record producer, a studio designer, an acoustical engineer, an acoustical teacher, and a 2-channel room designer.
