A dedicated listening room be it stereo listening, HiFi surround or residential theater is much more than a hobby or diversion, is a real (and important) slice of life.

Possibly no one is enjoying the passion of music listening more than Art Smuck (Ft. Worth).  The front view of his room is shown to the right.

Art Smuck, if you need to ask about this view of components than you have no idea how great audio can sound. Please do note the "Floating" wall backdrop which is a multi-tuned active "bass trap".Another view showing the "floating wall": chambered and tuned to (3) different center frequencies is this memrane trap feature.Art Smuck, showing the RPG 4" BAD ARC panels on the left sidewallWhat looks to be "theater" is actually 2-Channel with Vandersteen 5's and a passion for music listening.

From Mike on the room, "It's a cool, fun room to be in. People see it and say "wow". The most noticeable difference is now there is incredible pinpoint focus of vocals and instruments, and all are clearly defined in space. Also, the tonal richness."Kevin Jones listening space with GIK and Ready Acoustics panels showcasing Wilson Sasha and Purity Audio Design.David G's dedicated listenging room features GR Reasearch LS-6's and a design approach that speaks to perspective and depth (acoustically and visually).In this rear right view of David G's room you see a multi-layered paneling design capped off by HdAcoustics very own Circle Diffusors.The entry wall shows two stand-mounted absorbers.Charles Zucker's listening retreat is located in Manhattan.
