An Architect's Music Room

The music room took a lot of love and 10 years of planning/design to build. Now it is finally there (well almost). Here are some initial pictures of the analog shrine. Hopefully I can now continue my harmless indulgence in good music and share it with my little daughter as she grows up.

New updates in 2016-17 with new McIntosh C50 preamp and MVP891 SACD player, sweet sounding BMC M2 monoblocks, Primaluna Dialogue Seven monoblocks and a beautiful Transrotor Leonardo Doppio turntable. Latest addition to top it off is a pair of the magnificent Focal Utopia Scala speakers in a warm gray finish.

The main speakers look so cramped.

I love the space. I would place the main speakers on each side of the TV. I would get rid of the Long cabinet beneath the TV so speakers can be more comfortable. And maybe get interior curtains along the window wall.

So many amazing main speakers.
