Great systems in butt-ugly rooms

Ryder, You can get great sound in a small room, I have done so myself in about the size of yours. The small room does not dictate that good sound can't be achieved and you are correct in your statements in my mind as well.

It is the 10 foot wide room with the 30" wide speakers angled in running two 12-15" woofers, etc. . . that confuses me. These rooms must become overpressurized well before properly driving these huge speakers.

OK so who do members think has the best looking room?

My vote off hand would go to Grr6001, or Mikelavigne in that order, these are truely beautiful rooms and of the ones members post both these rooms are for the most part a universe ahead of the rest.

Like I said above, Albert Porter.

Yes Albert has a beautiful home but I was talking more of dedicated rooms.

I too am fussy, I always look at the mantlepiece before poking the fire.
