Fire place vs. audiophile....


I see many fire places on the gon that have become the backdrop for systems. Was wondering how this works with WAF and if they ever get used during the year...

I tore my fireplace out, my, my, my, the things some of us do for sonic bliss!
My fireplace serves as an RPG diffuser and bass trap - it sits about 6 feet directly behind the listener - exactly where I need absorption and diffusion. It is also surrounded by three large GIK Tri-traps. It is made from stacked logs of random size and seem quite effective for something that also is aesthetic.
Door is always open, logs in the fireplace act as a diffuser, and yes, if I let my wife cuddle up with me in the listening chair, she doesn't mind too much. Ideally, I would make a built-in, and do some other stuff with diffusers, I've just been a. too lazy and b. too into tuning a BMW 335i I bought. But if I had the time, I would make it more integrated.

Cheers!
