I see a lot of "where to put my speakers" threads (which is good, given the significant effect on SQ) but...

has anyone built a house around their HiFi setup?

or know of one like that?

@amirm has visited a barn with those general credentials...

(can't necessarily find the thread right now, will try)

Jack Vad built a house from the ground up with a room designed as an editing/post production studio. The architecture in that room had obvious acoustic intention. Big NHTs as monitors at the time [late 1990's]. Editing on a big Mac, computers and hard drives [RAID, something like a massive 40gb] stowed away in an air-conditioned closet.

Well, no, but I did have my hifi/junk room designed into our current (and last, I hope) house, in NH.

(mine when it had considerably less cr@p in it than it does now)

Mine was strongly influenced by Gary Kaufman's -- although Gary's is bigger, has an "en suite" ;)bathroom, and is filled with altogether cooler stuff than mine.

(hey, that's me, younger and fatter, in 2003 in the photo above)

Perhaps more on-topic -- there was the place in Italy (according to the internet) with the subwoofer basement.
I don't have a good link for the project; the one below's from Pinterest.
