Which Dealers- worldwide- have the Best listening rooms?

[caesar]

I have heard many a dealer claim that they they have the ultimate system. Many times their systems sound great, and many times their systems just suck. One of the things I usually do is play a recording I am familiar with, and I often hear woolly bass, which is probably covering up a lot of the other frequencies. Sure you can get a flavor of the sonic signature of the gear, but with a bad room you are driving a Ferrari on a 3rd world road.

Unfortunately, bad rooms are more common than good or great rooms.

So which dealers have the best rooms in the world? And who designed them?

I like this one. It was designed by a Hong Kong architect, a sound engineer, plus input and advice from Allen Sides (Oceanway Studios).

It does not look like there's any treatment done, but the two side walls are not parallel, and the ceiling comprises floating individual panels. Behind the curtains behind the speakers, there's bass trapping and another 6 feet or so.

Reminds me of Gary's (Protein) speakers.

nice chair.

It is - supremely comfortable, plus it looks good. All the chairs that they had in the showroom looked great and was comfortable..... and the headrest folds back away from the ears for critical listening.
