Looks like a particularly cold place to live, if anyone could ever live there. But arent furnishings good for the sake of deadening reflective bass.

In Sweden? I bet that place is toasty warm. You’re right about reflection though...

Those walls are ace Open plan with style But we live in UK Oh well

No brutalist architecture in UK? Move to the Warsaw pact and enjoy raw concrete in abundance.

If it's any consolation, it's very clear to see that whatever speakers they put in that room it's going to sound sh*te.

I think that every time I see one of these pathetic 'lifestyle' adverts.

And I'd think that even if I wasn't a sceptical, cynical, miserable old Bastard. (No offence to you by the way Major)

This is, of course, typical of London. There are dozens of buildings that look just like this now.

After all, you wouldn't want to mislead anyone by using a sample that wasn't representative, would you?

I was going to say that this picture could be one of many places in London but cleaner , or some parts of Essex also.

Then I saw the other picture posted.

I imagine his chat with Ms. Cno when he installed his freshly purchased Class A amp. "You put anything on top of this, the house burns and everything in it".

And I can't imagine what dialogue happened when Electro brought in those giant monoblocks to sit on the floor. "That's the amp". *biggrin*

Real men that inspire.

Mrs Electro has her own room full of pictures and nick naks and piles of toot that is slightly bigger that my room (obviously *smile* ) and my monoblocks sit loud and proud in their own sparsley furnished ( apart from acoustic treatment ) one chair only room, ( who needs more than one ? ) we ocasionally meet in a neutral room with table and chairs for a chat and a cup of tea to catch up on the recent gossip and exchange stories.

As far as the monoblocks go she is convinced they are storage heaters that keep my room warm even when the heating is off.

After 30 years of co habiting and then marriage I can highly recommend this type of social arrangement. *i-m_so_happy*

Just about the only thing in its favour is the two-tiered roof which to an extent will break up standing waves. Whole room though is clearly stilll going to echo like a church hall.

That’s a room? *gasp* I thought it was a nuclear bunker....

Vladimir & Co. I need to tell you guys that as much as this ad is nonchalant and cynical, I am also getting more and more convinced that soon all of us will say "bye" to all the Vinyls , CDs , passive amps and passive speakers etc. You cannot better the wifi technology. Nowadays it is still more lossy than lossless, but the good WiFi setup sound has definitive sound advatage over all these common things...We won't escape this. I use vinyls, CDs every day as well as Spotify streaming. Even Spotify connected by bluetooth to my system wins as far the "no mechanical noise sound is concerned"...Better WiFi , lossless connections - I guess this is the future.

In the future The Wife will choose what kind of chip you get to have implemented in your head to listen to music. If you shave off the **** beard, the chip self-destructs.

I know you’re not English Vladimir so I thought I should pick you up on this: It is “****” not “****”. He is a ****.

It's a fairly newish term. Google it, enjoy the memes.

I have just added '****' to my vocabulary , there are many examples I know that will allow me to slip it into general conversation .

*biggrin* *aggressive* .

Only about 1000 years old, at least.

Time flies. Feels like King Cnut's funeral happened yesterday.

Lots of cuckservatives in the UK according to Peter Hitchens. Taking the seats of the real conservatives while propping up war mongering lefty globalists.
