A good room, like any engineered solution, is always a balance of compromises and design decisions. And acoustic engineers will seldom agree on a “correct” approach. Absorbtion, diffusion, defraction… its all about balance.Seeing a beautiful room like this makes me wonder about the “trues” that I always listen or read about room treatment.
Many times I read that we shouldn’t use diffusion on the front wall.
But this room is all about diffusion.
I get confused and far from making a good room treatment here, as I can’t try everything.
Your listening room view is better .... in my view .On the Magico website, Alon touts the “beautiful San Francisco bay” area and this photo:

Now thats the view I’d want out my listening room window! (I’m a little sketchy on my bay area views — is that the bay bridge from Oakland, or GoldenGate from Sausalito? I think the former.)

is it 20 by 30?a few observations......
as an ideal listening room, it does look (based on our ability to scale it visually without any reference) narrower than i personally prefer.
OTOH Magico is not big on twin towers, which benefit from width. and likely they will have their gear between the speakers, i prefer to the sides.
it is a similar size to many real world rooms; so that makes sense.
looks more 16'-18' wide to me. but impossible to know without any visual reference.is it 20 by 30?
wow! I can see another visit to Magico in my future. curious how the sound compares between the prior and new rooms?
The room dimensions are 20X32, but the actual hard boundaries are 24X36.
It a bigger room than it looks. Very complex design and construction. There will be videos explaining the room construction in the future. There’s a lot more than meets the eyes.
Yes, the ceiling is 12' but 13.5' to the hard boundary.Yes, I thought it was more like 20 feet wide. But the image deceives about the length, it seems longer in it. How high is the room? 12 feet? Hard to tell from the picture.
