Ozy-
GREAT ROOM!! Very impressive. I was actually talking to Kevin at RMAF today about upgrading my 300.1s to Statement 450s and actually began doing measurements, etc.(Already have the Sig Mk2 preamp). Coincidentally, I also had lunch (still RMAF) today with a Focal manufacturing partner who I believe can get me a pair of Stellas if I want them. I had never seen nor heard them before, so he showed me pictures of a pair in black. Yours look very much better and I have to believe they sound amazing in your room with all your VAC gear, Siltech cabling, Esoteric gear and custom room treatments. I also have an Esoteric front end, with mine modified to an APL-NWO-M by Alex Peychev (20 32-bit DACs/side, double tube Class A output stage, etc., etc.)plus a rubidium clock.
Now this evening I discover your system and I must say, I am quite envious. Great job of putting it all together, in effect reinventing your system and room after the Tidals. IF you were nearby and open to it, I'd definitely want to hear your system while sampling some world-class scotch(I'd bring :-)) Again - very impressive. Congratulations.
