Perhaps all of us should put some pressure on OUR universities to duplicate this effort. Regards

The University of the South, aka Sewanee, sits on a mountain plateau on 15,000 acres in TN between Chattanooga and Nashville.  My son graduated in 2006 without having heard this system.  I think I'll make it a point of hearing it next time I'm there.

Yea!  Sewanee's right!

Out side of the listening room they have multiple headphone setups with very comfortable listening chairs. They have thousands of CD's to pick from.

I helped build the room and helped set up the equipment. All you can say is wow after listening. They filmed the video while we were swapping the speakers to the Wilson XLF's.

If you ever get a chance to go a listen you will never be sorry. Except it will probably make you go home and re-evaluate your own system. I know it spoiled me.

By the way the University of the South is one of the most beautiful campus's in the country. Just a trip to visit the campus is a treat in it's self.
