10x10 with 8361s and a 7380? You must like it loud.

Sometimes! It's 99% overkill.

My listening room is the bindery part of my studio space. A diffused listening space that has a sweet spot but emphasis is on off axis response and dispersion as I tend to move around a lot. Major epiphany last week when, after 30 years of it creating nulls, I put my big work table on casters so I can roll it out of the way for more listeners or even dancing - happens more frequently than you might think. Mostly all DIY, specs in my sig.

Some beautiful spaces here but a real lack of Revel, KEF and Genelec speakers! Here’s my contribution, excuse the mess:

I am rough-cut guesstimating that your CD wall has at least 2000 CDs.
Impressive
Not wanting to be even more impressed, I intentionally did not try to even guesstimate the number of LPs you may have in your analog library.
Kudos

I guess you have not yet gotten to Stage#4 of "Music Collector's Syndrome", where you hunker down and digitize your whole collection!
It took me a loooong time to digitize my CD collection (MP3/FLAC mix) and -then- dump them onto a NAS, for prosperity and much easier access.

Almost forgot to include the modest system in the vacation house. All the Vandersteen's in this thread reminded me.

That is a very clean setup.

But... ... your photo (above) makes the Vandesteens appear almost like they are pointing +/-90degrees away from listening position or almost like the connectors are on the side (not 'rear') of the speakers.
Optical illusion or fisheye lens on camera?

I'm not seeing that, the speakers are pointing at the sofa.

Here is what I see on my 27" desktop monitor (from partial screen capture of your photo):

odd.

Red line faces the sofa. Green line is parallel to front wall with fireplace. Connectors face the front wall with fireplace. Not sure what you are seeing

My Airbnb pics look similar - it's just way cleaner than we'd ever keep our real homes.

 

[GD Fan]

The US national parks look better, actually. You'd be surprised if you've not experienced them.

Edit: better than AI, that is.

What do you mean?

 

[ckernel8]

Every picture even in the add reeks AI. Can you present just one real pic that does not smell fake?

They aren't fake man. It's a wide angle lens. It causes distortions, especially towards the edges of the frame. It's obviously not AI.

 

[ckernel8]

I am missing any handle at the windows. Maybe too good (too clean) to be real?

Those kinds of windows do not open.

Thanks for the kudos!

I think the CDs are about 1,500 - 1,600 and that’s about 1,200 records which is only half the collection.

I had always loaded my CDs into iTunes and when I got into vinyl over a decade ago I was a fanatic about recording those as well but it became too much of a chore and I found myself streaming the rips instead of playing the physical so I stopped a few years ago. I think I was up to a 5TB drive when I threw in the towel.
