New room for Classic Infinities

I started the build on my dedicated listening room approx 8 weeks ago, basically its finished apart from the acoustic panels which are being custom made. The panels should be ready in about 4 weeks.
Even without the acoustic treatment , the room still sounds superb!...very happy with the outcome.

Dimensions are.... 16ft width x 24ft length x 8.5ft ceiling height at speaker end x 10.5 ft ceiling height at listening end.

My current gear is ..

Sony XA 777ES SACD player
VPI Scout 2 with Benz Micro Glider Cartridge ( should arrive in 2 weeks)
Manley Chinook Phono Stage ( arrives next week)

Manley Jumbo Shrimp Preamp
Manley Neo Classic 250 Monoblocks.

Infinity RS Kappa 9 Speakers
Infinity RS 4.5 Speakers.

I was going to replace my Infinity Kappa 9,s but after auditioning several modern high end speakers....i will be keeping the old Kappa,s. I auditioned ..B&W 802d,s...Revel Saloon 2,s ...Dali Euponia MS5,s ...Vandersteen 5A...

My wife has often threatened to move me and my stuff into the shed out back. If the shed was that nice looking I'd comply!!

Nice job!
 
no it screams IRS BETAs LOL :yes:

Nice room .. wish I could build one too ,,,
 
Nice! Did you insulate heavily, in the outer walls, in order to achieve maximum crankage...??? :rockon::rockon::rockon:

Also, those Kappa 9's still look sweet! Have you treated the upper mid? It's surprising now, to still see a clear one... :yes:

Thanks for sharing!
