Wales is on the water, not actually in it. 

So it floats?

Some virtual systems grab my attention.

A perfect example of accepting your amazing living space and cool audio gear can exist, just accept whatever necessary. The space is amazing and really deserves to be seen, but the audio gear has to be heard! I get it. If one can get away with or approval(S.O) like this, you have it all figured out.

There are some really nice living spaces among the virtual post. IMO, it's challenging getting your gear to adapt to an otherwise architecturally great room. Depending how $erious you are, is probably the limiting factor.

Living space and decent gear is the biggest challenge. Dedicated room-piece of cake.

Using 24 Shunyta dark field elevators as well as 9 Critical mass 11/2 inch isolators.

Just as long as the room is not an empty echo chamber, but instead is fully furnished with both absorbing and reflective materials, then I do not see the issue. I have none of this BS in corners and hanging from my ceiling. My room sounds just fine to me, thank you. Most of us live in a normal house with a family, not in a mansion with dedicated areas for listening. There is something called a compromise. Most all of this expensive dedicated so called acoustic treatment, not to mention ugly, can be accomplished with common household items that are normally contained in a typical living room. Soft and hard furnishings (ie...upholstered couch/love seat, chairs, coffee/end tables, pillows/throws, wall hangings/tapestry, curtains/blinds, stuffed bookshelves & record shelves, carpeting, rugs...) etc, etc...doing anything further borders on excessive and insanity. The manufacturer of the speaker did not set out and design it to be listened to inside an anechoic chamber.
