I don't know if you notice other folks systems (I assume you do) but your room/system reminds me of Rob25's system on the Mac website. He recently purchased an XRT2.1K and has an all Mac system in a custom built American designed room.

If I could (I know it could never be possible), I would greatly enjoy hearing yours and his over an extended period of time. The high end is so incredibly diverse and good sound can be achieved in so many different ways.

I think 2-Fast Driving (Marc) has a custom room. I'm sure there are others. I believe Rob has a HT capability in his room.

Anyway, again congratulations on a monumental achievement. I can only imagine how wonderful your system sounds.

Best,

Charles

ps. I realized I'm leaving out Ivan. Many of his rooms are custom designed from the ground up and he has an all Mac HT room. I'm sure there are others.
Hi Charles,

thanks for your comment. I think there are others similar design around the globe, most probably with different materials/acoustic elements used.

I live in Italy, but only few months per year. The rest, I am around the world for my job (no any link with hiend field).

Based on above, you're welcome any time to listen my system.

Thanks.

Rocco, do you mind sharing the city name?

Expecting to be in Italy 2 to 3 times later this year...

Mark

Hi Mark.

I live at Reggio Calabria (Calabria), South Part (almost the end of the boot)

You're welcome any time.

Thank you...my travels will take me for work to Milan, Bergamo Grassobbio and Rome,...this may allow me to take you up on that great invitation!

What are the dimensions L, W, H for the room?

What are thd dimensions L, W, H for the room?
From Rome to my Place is about one hour by flight or 5 hours by train. Instead from Milan and/or Bergamo is about 90' by flight.

Net Room dimensions:

exact width of the room is: 6.07m
exact lenght of the room is: 5.71 m
exact height of the room is : 2.95 m

Behind the treatment, there is a specific/superb realization in terms of soundproofing (done specifically in association with the acoustic treatment), typical of a concert hall, but with more advanced technology. The soundproofing and acoustic treatment are made to be mutually complementary. A whole, properly and structurally isolated, to give together in unison a propagation and homogeneous distribution of musical energy, dramatically natural into room.

The room was originally in a completely different (rectangular) shape and has now been so modeled in the masonry to obtain this specific result, very similar in acoustic performance to Musikverein Wien Concert Hall, but here have been applied more advanced and technologically acoustic solutions (acoustic modern design, where every customized acoustic element is perfectly tuned). Respectfully it is not remotely imaginable what happens acoustically in this room, because actually listening here is one of those musical experiences that literally leaves you breathless (common definition of 21 European music-lovers experts and in audio-field/acoustic too, who had the good fortune and privilege of being able to listen to it. The dimensions shown are the physical ones, then there are the virtual ones which, thanks to the acoustic insulation before and the subsequent acoustic treatment, all in massive and unimaginable form, make the balance and the distribution of energy in a practically symmetrical and perfect environment in the modals and in constant reverberation times of 0.38 sec over to the entire frequency spectrum; the associated instrumental analyzes attest to this objectively. While listening, the room completely disappears (the physical dimensions and the boundaries of the walls / ceiling seem to be infinite) letting the music flow in the most natural way possible. This design and implementation took 13 months of intense research and appropriate development where everything has been carefully and meticulously studied / applied. There are not so many similar acoustic design in the world. (RPG Europe Docet).

The floor in my room is a totally floating acoustic structure too with several thick layers (total thickness is 5.4 cm) of harmonious birch wood and natural oak. Each layer is completely isolated from the other with the use of a specific acoustic damping compound designed for use between 2 sheets. Such acoustic complex structure floats on different acoustic suspenders (from floor foundations) and each specific area has its own calculated resonance frequency. Such realization has been made applying on place the most extreme acoustic concepts. The contribution and the result in terms of sound is breathtaking.

According to RPG Europe, but not limited to Europe only, in their decades of worldwide experience/knowledge in this field, they state such room as one of the absolute best listening hall ever made for a lot of reasons (highest quality of materials used, overall acoustic response and reference listening sound quality).

Thank You,...Extraordinary attention to detail and musical realism,...I truly hope to be able to appreciate this in person!

Rocco, thank you for the kind invitation so much. I hope Mark can make it because he has an updated system (Legacy Valor) that employs a real world less expensive solution to correcting room acoustics. His ancillary gear is beyond criticism. So it would truly be an interesting informative comparison. There are "reference systems" and there is the Real McCoy which is yours because it was built from the ground up.

Best,

Charles
