Outer dimensions: 11.5 x 8.0 x 4.3-4.5 m (37.7 x 26.2 x 14.1-14.7 ft)
Inner Dim to insolation: 10.7 x 7.0 x 4.13-3.93 m (35.1 x 22.9 x 13.5-12.9 ft)
Outer wall are of concrete (20cm cement blocks filled with concrete); walls and ceiling insolation is made of 15mm x 182cm x 244 cm MDF layered with 2” fiberglass wool on the outer side and 4” on the inner side; 20cm separation between walls and panels; panels are covered with fabric inside the room; floor is a 15 cm concrete slab. Front and rear walls have each 6 Quad 23 difiusors (123 x 126 x 47 cm) with one inverse on each wall. The noise level is 30 db.
The electrical system is separate from the house. The main line (2 #6 spiraled wires) comes directly from the public supply to an isolation transformer behind and outside of the room. There are lines coming directly to the VTL and MBS amps and 3 separate lines for the rest of the components. All lines are #10 and inputs are 15 amps hospital grade.
The best addition to my system has been this room.
The room also serves as a video room with a separate system but with the front speaker in common.
I use the Decware amp with the Voxativ and Decware speaker for classical chamber music and for jazz ensembles and vocals, the results are beautiful.
Hello Gostship. The Decware amps bridged to mono blocks give each 6w. I normally use them with the Voxativ or the Decware DHL10 although I have connected them to the Wilson Audio Alexandras. The MSB 200s are mostly driving the Wilsons. I only use the first configuration (Decware+Voxativ+Decware) for classical chamber music or jazz ensembles. I prefer this one over the MSB200 or VTL Siegfried + Wilson because the highs and mids sound more natural or more appealing to me. Aditionally the bass is sufficiente and well balanced. The sound stage is excellent. The “atmosphere”, feeling or mood it gives is more intimate. For orchestral works, chorals, organ, etc the MSB and VTL are more appropriate.
I’m really happy with the Decware amps, these small 6w per channel giants are amazing. I’ve used them with the Wilsons, that are quiet efficiente with 94bd, and they make them sound great with chamber music at around 80db at the listening chair; this is also a nice pairing.
Anyway I can’t forget that the Cascade is certainly a the origen of all this beauty and the low room noise that highlights the sound.
Well, I just got the SE for a second system and honestly, if I had heard it first, I may never have gotten the Sarah 300B, because it is amazing. That being said, the Sarah is “better” to my ears in every metric audiophiles use to describe music reproduction. I’m happy I own both now!
Each system has its own pros and cons and suits a specific type of music or your preference in a given moment; that’s the advantage of havings several systems with different characteristics.
