Custom paint in piano lacquer white. Very lively with holographic soundstage.

The best amp I ever had, powerful yet musical, delivers punch when needed and has beautiful mids and highs. Controls the speakers very well. Extremely low noise level due to external power supply

Steve, the sloping ceiling improved the sound significantly. I assume it minimizes standing waves, together with the soundproofing material behind my chair. The carpeting helps, too. Before I moved my system in the attic I had it set up in my living room, a long and rectangular room with only hard surfaces and lots of rattling windows.
Ground Control to Major Tom, your room is brilliant in both form & function. To be able to set your component rack behind the speakers and give yourself access to all of your cables is almost impressive as your system and the rest of the room.
+1 for the chair, I have the same one in my music room :)
I'm very curious about the Odeon horns (been also following exlibris and zipost systems here), need to find a dealer for auditioning... What other speakers did you own before?
And now I will have to also audition the ASR amp...
Lovely room and I love horns! And looks like you have a few tube amps in reserve when you want a change of flavor excellent plan. And the Eames chair always classic.
Nice! I just came into a BC 3.7 too and greatly enjoy it. Based on what I see here I think I can confidently say the rest of my system is the weak link :). Similarly, I enjoy what Roon radio pulls out of the web-o-sphere after I have listened to Tortoise, Mary Latimore, or similar.
I listen to 70% high-res digital music from Tidal and Qobuz. I just recently bought a Bel Canto DAC 3.7 and, man, this thing took digital to a whole new level! Especially tracks higher than CD resolution sound so amazingly beautiful and sweet that I really don't need to listen to analog all the time. Another factor is that I'm a junkie for new Avantgarde Jazz music. My record collection of approx. 200 LPs is rather limited but T & Q offer such a huge variety of music that I often get lost exploring artists I've never heard of before.
The little room to the left is my home office. Conveniently located, isn't it?
I totally agree the leg lamp pulls the whole room together. Wish my neighborhood had a tree lawn where I could find one too. Seriously this room is amazing, both visually and I'm sure acoustically as well. Curious if you listen to more analog or digital? ALso what is that space off to the right?
