Rives Audio Designed dedicated 2 channel room for 2 channel audio performance and aesthetics.

The room was commissioned in early 2009, designed by Richard Bird at Rives with construction beginning in late April. Richard is the ultimate professional and was great to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone.

I was fortunate to work once again assemble a team of craftsman trade people. CLD Construction, Dolphin Custom Cabinetry, Spiegelhalter Electric, B&U Wood Floorers, Kendall Painting, Miner plumbing . My wife did all of the interior design, coordinating paint colors, fabrics, wood choices, rugs and window treatments (still coming).

The team was not only able to build a room that sounds outstanding but one that has great aesthetic appeal. It is a true pleasure to be in this room.

I've been in the room for 7 months fine tuning and tweaking its performance.

Special thanks to MikeLavigne, Cincy-Bob, Carl Zapp, Slipnot for their support and encouragement before and during the planning and construction process.

My system has been stable for the past 10 years or so. I am a Merlin devote and have built a system around the speakers. I've owned several version of the speakers as Bobby has continued to refine the design.

I have however turned to the dark side and totally diggitized my CD collection on a music server. Wavelength Audio Cosecant V3 asynchronous DAC has the digitial honors and is sounding outstanding.

Next upgrade will be to my front end of my VPI table and a new record cleaner. I also have 500+ albums in storage that need to be delivered and put in the new record storage/rear diffusor.
