I have been a music enthusiast for as long as I can remember, saving my lawn-mowing money to buy records, both regular and audiophile editions. Like many of us, I was always searching for better: better sound, better gear, better experiences.

During my downtime in the COVID years, I came across an article in The Absolute Sound (April 2019 issue) about Robert Harley building a listening room. It inspired me to finally create one of my own. I figured, how hard could it be?

With limited construction skills, enough to hang a picture or put up a shelf, I set out to build my ideal listening space using that article as a guide.

Several years later, in October, the room was finally completed. You can view photos of the finished project in the Photo Gallery section.
