The purist and the early adapter. Black and white.
My room is also epic and I use dipole linear arrays which limit room interaction, ESLs with an order of magnitude less distortion than any dynamic driver.
I digitize my turntable and use digital RIAA correction which is more accurate than any analog circuit.
I would never buy another tape machine (I am being given an old Nagra for display purposes only) IMHO they all belong in museums next to Edison's cylinder machines. Recording in 24/192 is more accurate with less distortion not to mention that it is far less expensive, no tape and the software is far less expensive. The only reasons I play records is because I have thousands of them and I've been doing it since I was 4 years old.
Black and White. Two entirely different approaches to the same problem, the romantic and the modern. Both are valid for differing reasons.
