I appreciate those kind thoughts, David. Unfortunately my incompetent architect has been trying to get a permit approved since October. We have been literally dead in the water since October.
Thank you, Mike. At best it still is an extremely challenging room acoustically, with a large opening to the equipment room on the right and an even larger opening to the kitchen on the left, asymmetrical side walls, and asymmetrical ceiling soffits. But to answer your question: no, the completion of the room is still way too far away for me to begin to get excited about it.
Right now there is slap echo when I clap my hands, but I am virtually certain it is from the super reflective Koster Vap-covered floor.
Both you and David had a lot to do with my decisions on the walls. Your wood-lined listening room encouraged me to keep the room fairly live to begin with.

And you're stuck with him? Usually businesses that do a LOT of work can get permits done within the week if not day.
How's the rest of the house compared to the listening room?

Thank you for asking. The listening room is the easy part of the repairs. The rest of the house is even less far along than the listening room. What can one expect in almost three years?

I don't have an IO but do have the Eclipse signature (Aesthetix line stage equivalent) and agree that NOS tubes take these preamps to a waaay different place. I ended up with Tele 12AX7's, Mullard E188CC's, etc. Maybe the most influential tube swap came from swapping the EL34's to GEC KT66's (grey glass) in the power supply.
Hi Ron, our bedroom floor is v similar to this. It's a really nice, understated vibe, that can only be beneficial for relaxed listening. Congrats.
The first four feet from the front wall be carpet. The next 10 feet will be the same walnut flooring as the rest of the house. The rest of the living room floor will be carpet.
So basically the entire listening room floor will be wall-to-wall carpet except for a 10 foot deep strip on which I will locate the amplifiers and the speaker columns.
What did the wood start out as? (What kind of wood is it?)
How did you achieve the gray stain?
