Cut-Throat Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I had been designing and working on this for about 8 months. I did a dedicated Sub-Panel with a Circuit for every piece of gear (8). 12 gauge romex and 20 amp breakers. Hubbel Hospital grade outlets. All on the same phase. I had the cabinets and Crown molding professionally built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted March 11, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2006 VERY NICE looking room,you can't beat real wood, that must have cost a fortune. If it sounds as good as it looks it must sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 All that time and hard work definately paid off in the end, I'd say! Congrats on a beautiful, real wood listening room, one I'm sure you'll enjoy for many years to come.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbflash Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Very Nice. You should be very proud of both the room and your system. Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Very nice. What are the dimensions of the room? Or at least the wall they're on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai2000 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Not quite my style - but nevertheless a very nice looking room. The Altecs on the other hand.......wish I could audition those. Wolfram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleJ Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Looks mighty fine, Kevin. The basement looks a lot different than when I picked up the Belles this past summer. JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Very beautiful room there, Cut-throat! Very masculine design. I have to ask, though: Why are there doors and drawers behind the speakers? Seems a from-scratch room would give the speakers a more "built-in" (or "built-for") look. Not sure how one would do that. This is in no way a criticism, just curious. EDIT: Perhaps they're not operable, i.e. false panels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben. Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Jeepers... imagine what it would have cost if your Khorns were Rosewood!? That's quite a nice job. I'm currently in a little tiny room with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Very "manly" Kevin but too neat. I can't let my wife see that! You need one of these pasted on your fish tank in the middle: Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cut-Throat Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Behind the Khorns are false Panels. No operating doors. They have a 3/4 inch inch Oak raised panel with 2 - 3/4 inch MDF panels behind plus extra bracing panels for rigidity. The backs are open to the rear room in case I want to fill the panels someday with sandbags for even greater density. The reason I did this is so that if down the road I want to switch to a different speaker (say Edgarhorns) I could move the Khorns out and still have a finished raised panel showing. That way I was not building the room only for Khorns, but I could accomodate almost any speaker design. The back of the wall is my workshop, where I have access to all of the electrical and speaker wiring. The dimensions of the work shop is about 40 feet by 12 feet. The dimensions of the listening room is 27 feet by 25 feet. The turntable is permanently in 'mothballs' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
