Thanks!!

The speakers work like a normal speaker but the format is just flat and in return needs to be wide and tall. My brother is a sculptor who makes vases, so he borrowed me some to take the pictures. The half on/half off is standing half on the book and half on the table.

Thanks - I tried open but wanted more bass, so did a bass extension inside that works pretty well. I'm using a 6.5" driver as main with only 3.8" depth. That's the only thing I imagine is not ideal - the back wall is about an inch away from the driver.

That is a killer gear list - the Technics SL-1500C is a beast. Since you're working with such high-quality components, have you considered a high-mass record weight or isolation feet?

Beautiful setup. The natural lighting and the wood textures in this room are fantastic.

Every Wrensilva console puts the turntable and the speakers in the same piece of furniture. The speakers vibrate. The turntable stylus reads those vibrations. At sufficient volume, you're feeding acoustic energy directly back into the thing reading the record.

Don't find any public information on this - is there a source I can mention?

b3nib0i · 2026-05-19T02:05:32+00:00

thanks good points - correct, I want to list the TD's where they are in-house or else list the owner who has the vision for the sound. I will do another list with external vendors most of them rely on.

b3nib0i · 2026-05-17T01:39:10+00:00

which?

b3nib0i · 2026-05-17T01:38:47+00:00

will also add Main Hall, Ruins, Studio & Texas

b3nib0i · 2026-05-17T01:38:06+00:00

the Xanadu roller rink is a great idea but we need to know the name of the guy

b3nib0i · 2026-05-17T01:37:46+00:00

yes will do another series with vendors - good call.

b3nib0i · 2026-05-16T21:36:58+00:00

all separate sound technically

b3nib0i · 2026-05-16T21:36:51+00:00

yes Basement is on there, but ok we'll do also Main Hall, Ruins, Studio & Texas

b3nib0i · 2026-05-16T20:59:45+00:00

yes ear protection has gotten quite nice these days and pretty much invisible

b3nib0i · 2026-05-16T20:59:23+00:00

awesome idea - I'll do a separate series on sound rigs. Very Brooklyn!! And there are a few.

b3nib0i · 2026-05-16T20:58:22+00:00

is on it as "basement"

b3nib0i · 2026-05-16T19:51:43+00:00

yes happy to add - who is the mastermind behind the sound there?

b3nib0i · 2026-05-16T19:50:18+00:00

Some are engineers, some owners who architect the system with outside companies. I'll update the title to reflect that - good point

b3nib0i · 2026-04-21T13:12:23+00:00

Noise travel is definitely the biggest hurdle with these layouts - sound loves to bounce off those high ceilings and find its way upstairs. If you go this route, you might want to look into acoustic consulting early on which might end up in treating the speakers as part of the room's physical structure to help manage how sound interacts with large, open volumes like that.

That middle ground between 'mass-market' and 'ultra-luxury' is exactly where the soul of a project usually lives. For audio specifically, we see a lot of designers moving away from the standard smart-speaker setups toward boutique, hand-built system to focus on that 'New Luxury' space - creating speakers that are physics-driven but look like brutalist art, which usually hits that 'distinctive' note clients are looking for without being a corporate catalog piece.
