Hi Albert,The artist/cabinet maker you refer to deserves that title. It's a very creative design, high quality workmanship and shows a good deal of imagination.
Thank you for the compliments. The rectangles that make up the red wall are simply cherry veneers with a mixture of stain and oil finish from Germany. Each rectangle is one of three colours/shades of red and one of three sizes.
As for Audio Note....When I was looking for speakers to replace my MBLs I auditioned quite a few over the course of three or four months bit I kept revisiting the dealer with the Audio Note system just like I keep revisiting the Audio Note room at shows.
Audio Note frequently have great sound at shows and their attitude makes for a relaxing spot to hang out.
