Lend me your ears...

I do not have a picture of my listening room because we're just moving in to a condo and the outlets are being wired for 20 amps and the walls are being soundproofed. The room is 18' X 15' and will be fully carpeted. The only furniture will be a three seat recliner, two teak side tables, the equipment, including 2 KEF LS50s, 2 jl audio f113, two amp stands, and rack made with bdr shelves and custom steel tubing, sand filled with braze ons to support center stage footers. There are French doors that will be covered with moire curtains. Triangle Art Reference mono blocks and a Cary SLP 98. I also have a Luxman amp I use with an old Revox reel-to-reel tape machine I used to record radio broadcasts when Leonard Bernstein conducted the NY Phil. 

add more stuff for natural absorb and diffraction…. i setup about 20 excellent rooms a year…. almost all the spare, spartan and over treated ARE… or were… the worst…sounding…

A bunch of 20 A outlets ? getting one of them right is KEY, make sure the analog 20 is a homerun to panel AND on the clean leg

I have no opinion on the HW, as I listen exclusively to analogue.

But I absolutely agree about Flagstad. Flagstad is Flagstad, dominating the field like no other since Caruso. Have you heard Melnas, recorded on BIS?

I haven't even heard of Melnas. Can you point me at a download? 

We will have one 20 amp duplex outlet on its own circuit 

There will be the floor-to-ceiling drapes, a large tapestry the large leather recliner and sculpted berber carpet, and at least one person. 

Melnas was a Scandinavian (of course) mezzo who sang in the '80's. She is best known for the epochal "Cantate Domino" recorded and released by the Scandinavian (of course) company BIS. I believe that the title is available on SACD. I have no idea about the strange phenomenon known as 'downloading'. 

Enjoy!
