Wayne and William of The Source AV in Torrance, California will be delivering the four Pendragon crates to my garage on November 14.
The crates contain the speakers?
can’t believe this is the last season of the soap opera. I was hoping for a twist
Finally it looks like light at the end of the tunnel
I'm glad for you as it took longer than anyone (obviously except from you, Ron) could have beared
Don't jinx it, Ron
You are aware of self fulfilling prophecies, right?
It will all be smooth sailing from now on
The listening room has been painted, the carpet has been installed, and this morning I cleaned the wood floor loudspeaker/amplifier section in the front third of the room. I know this sounds absurd, but you can’t imagine how excited I was to be using a broom and a dust pan to clean the wood part of the listening room floor!
Just for fun I put in my inventory of ASC Tube Traps.
The photo of the front wall using some wide-angle lens function on the iPhone exaggerates grotesquely the actual size of the room. It’s about half the size of what it looks like in this photo.
I found some Mickey Mouse reverberation time app in the Apple iStore. With the rear wall of the listening room almost completely uncovered glass the current reverberation time according to this little app is .56 @ 500Hz and .63 @ 2,000Hz.
When those glass walls are covered with window treatment I think RT might fall into the target range.
Tinka does not like any of my legacy leather couches, so they have been banished from the living room and into the listening room. I want the listening room to be a fun place which can accommodate naturally a pretty large number of people. Still, I think I should probably keep only two out of the three couches.
I do not yet have a main listening chair here, but I picked one out a couple of years ago. Or I could place one of the couches in front of the other two couches, and use the forward couch as a main listening position. But then that would make this room look unmistakably like a furniture store!
Tinka thinks I should keep only one of the three couches, and keep the place uncluttered looking.
This is a photo from the center of the rear wall using the regular iPhone camera lens:

Again using the ultra wide angle iPhone function here you can see the 4’ x 8’ x 2” absorption panels at the points of likely first reflection.
This is the wall in the adjacent room which will have David’s racks and David’s turntable and the Io and the TL-7.5 Series III. The tape machine will go on the left.
There will be enough tubes in this system to entertain any pyromaniac. A nearby fire extinguisher is prudent.

Progressing nicely if slowly there Ron--but an end in sight --kudos-!
Ah the Traps--I've used them since 1990 when I purchased 8 sets and they have, I've felt added to the musical bliss and listening .
They've stayed ever since.
Reading between the lines your mentor is no fan so possibly their last hurrah in your room !
But if they find to be of no sonic purpose with auditioning in situ-- then fine--rooms and listening traits vary as we all find.
Good listening and success

Ron, as we all know, the eye listens. What a magnificent view. I would be tempted to choose the listening position towards the window. Unfortunately, this has acoustic disadvantages (hard reflections and less bass because of the large window areas).
I wish you much joy in setting up your HiFi equipment.
