Modest High End Audio
Page last updated on 04/21/2026
The “Escape Pod” is a smaller rectangular space typical of a spare bedroom or home office. It has wood floors, throw rug, vaulted ceiling and a few casual custom acoustic treatments. This room has an intimate and inviting acoustic signature that makes it easy to melt into the couch and forget about time.
Currently: We have the Rogue Audio Cronus Dark Integrated Amplifier set up with the Rotel DT-6000 CD Player / DAC and using a Bluesound Node as a streaming source set up for two channel listening for you to demo.
The front speakers setup are the Sonus Faber Sonetto V floorstanders. Two REL T/9x subwoofers to finish off the room. A very modest priced two channel (soon to be theater) with excellent sound. Come here it for yourself!
