Text and photos by Juan C. Ayllon Straight off, vibration is not a big issue in my 20’ x 16’ listening room. Located in our basement, the vinyl, faux hardwood floors rest on a cement slab. With a hallway to the left and a fireplace on the right, I employ a large area rug, large acoustic absorption panels, acoustic curtains, several bass traps and an acoustic diffusion panel, as well as sound dampening Dacron Fiberfill behind paintings and thick recycled denim insulation behind my diffusion panel and curio cabinet to deaden the room. They have served my wife, Belle, and me well, whether listening listening to jazz down low on weekend mornings, louder blues, rock and other genres during the day and quite loud when taking in HD movies, The Voice (our favorite reality TV singing competition that starts again on Monday), or simply dancing to the music.

Text and photos by Juan C. Ayllon On weekends, my wife, Belle, listens to music while showering and preparing to head out. It’s usually country or gospel. She presses a button on her six inch tall cylindrical bluetooth speaker, requests an artist or a genre and, moments later, music envelopes our master bath.
And like her, nowadays people everywhere stream music via cell phones, tablets and wireless speakers, with the likes of Apple Music, Amazon Prime and Spotify serving it up with competitive plans. For those who don’t like lossy MP3 formatted music but eschew the inconvenience of vinyl, there are companies like Deezer and Tidal for higher fidelity playback.
