The “Music Womb” (aka my room build thread)

[Weirdcuba]

OK. This thing has taken much more work than I ever envisioned. Had to work on the electronics and swap out the receptacles, flip the speakers and components from one end of the room to the other, FINALLY got the tube traps from ASC (but don’t have the panels from GIK yet) and lots and lots of other stuff. The room sounds much better, but will have a major calibration session on Thursday, from which I am expecting great things. It still looks disheveled, but I plan to post some photos when it gets to a better place.

The R-1s were worth buying nearly two years in advance and storing all that time - scared me to death to have them moved in, but they are absolutely unimaginably great sounding. No stillpoints anywhere, nothing hanging on the walls, etc., but we’re getting there step by step.

Only learning is that if you undertake a dedicated room project, take it in small bites - it won’t all happen in the first weekend (unless you are much better prepared than I was). I will report back.
