The material structure of our walls, ceiling and floor was not overlooked – along with the dimensional modes there are colourations introduced by the very nature of modern brick, concrete, wood and plasterboard construction methods, the latter the least favourable to audiophiles. Sound-proofing was also part of our build profile – no unwanted noise in or out… Good suppression is readily achieved at mid and high frequencies with Rockwool infills but there’s no substitute for sheer mass when it comes to attenuating the lowest bass frequencies.

The floor is solid – a liquid screed pumped over the existing concrete and stone foundation, securing the flexible plumbing/pipework for underfloor heating and with square-section trunking alongside, running down the centre of the room. Here our audio cabling rests hidden and free from vibration within the floor substrate, exiting behind the Artesania rack [see below] and inside the plant room. Interconnects and speaker cables emerge from ports behind the power amp and speakers at the ‘business’ end of the room [see above]. It’s very neat and tidy!
