I don’t like all of the lights either. But when they are on, especially for guests, it is impressive!
Nice rig!
I would kill for that record deck!
It’s the tonearm that makes it special 
All what lights on? You only have one on.
House to myself, opened the back wall of Music Room 1, so listening space is effectively about 50ft deep.
Room looks great. Well done!
My OCD demands that you double check the placement of your listening chair. In the photo, it looks like it needs to be moved a skosh to the right (stage left). 
I love the angled windows that form a sort of horn.
I think the general principle of oriel or bay windows is to let in more light, I doubt Indian architects in the 14th C considered their significant acoustic benefits. Very many suburban houses built in the UK from the 1850s to WW2 have them, and relatively high ceilings. Post WW2 ceilings were lowered and bay windows abandoned due to the shortage of building materials.
After 100 years+ the casement frames rot away, and are hugely expensive to replace. We ripped them out and put in modern windows with acoustic glass, much less reflective and reduces external noise by 40dB (i.e. nothing).
I suppose true audiophiles put bits of tape on the floor to mark chair and speaker alignment. I’m note there yet.
My wife is so OCD about her new kitchen it’s driving me a bit insane.
Congratulations Steven. Gorgeous listening room. Under the floor loudspeaker cables?
It certainly eliminates the rear reflections the glass doors are sure to contribute.
The cables are hidden under oak-pattern self-adhesive vinyl.
There are many different types of glass and some are more acoustically forgiving than others. These doors should be highly reflective, but they don’t cause a problem when closed.
The ceiling is constructed from soundbloc board, there right had side wall is lined with soundbloc and the left hand wall is lined with a product called Acoustiwall, costs about $50 psm, for first reflection and soundproofing.
Mostly I’ve used common sense methods to get a room that does not sound hard, there are no bass nasties, and no obvious visible acoustic treatment. There is a bit of luck involved, but enough planning to expect a decent result.
Can you explain?
Not really. Depends on whether they are hardened, laminated, have a PVB layer, double, triple glazed, contain inert gases like Argon. They have different mechanical and liquid-type properties, as very complicated and way above my pay grade.
So far I just thought glass differences as far as they exist rank between very bad and extremely bad as a front wall, so not really relevant. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be a decent sound realized with them.
Soundwise, there is a coefficient of bounciness and some glass ranks at 0.01, which is really bad, others can absorb sound and dissipate the energy by vibration/heat, and rank at the same level as brick for bounciness.
These doors used to be a side wall (we recently moved them) and were covered with a roller blind. To my surprise they don’t cause a problem.
Some glass sound seems to pass straight through, like Luxcrete internal blocks.
Obviously you can listen to music in a windowless bunker like MR2, not my cup of tea.
Most acoustical glass is constructed to limit transmission, not to prevent reflection. That’s not to say your setup is bad - all kinds of things can contribute to a space’s sound signature, and most of them are above my pay grade. I was just observing that there’s a really good chance you’ll hear a substantive difference in sound with the doors open and with them closed.
Exactly. Glass is hard and perfectly flat. Thus there is no diffusion and essentially no absorption.
Acoustic glass is designed to keep sound out of where you are. It does little if you are on the same side of the glass as the sound. 
The trick with windows is to set up your system so that the glass is not a reflection point.
