Stereo setup in a room that doubles as home-office. Acoustic treatment done where possible and critical listening is afforded when office is not being used.

Room Description

Office setup, workstations on left and right sides.

Acoustic Treatment

Acoustic diffusers at rear wall made of rockwool filled panels with perforated wood slats cover, acoustic fiber boards on the walls also. Acoustic panel absorbers on first reflection points of both speakers.

Listening Impressions

Very musical with all the technicalities - detail and refinement, very good soundstaging and imaging in spite of all the other things in the room. Still a long way from recreating the live musical experience, but I get fooled often enough.

Media Storage

HP PC as Roon Core, with a Seagate external drive.
