N-set, you have actually struck upon one of the difficulties of not being the designer and builder per se, only an actively interested commissioner of a bespoke system from a third party. I foresee logistical difficulties in building the system in a third-party location, when said third party will not be able to replicate the conditions of the room that will become my listening room. I am going from having a study/listening room housing a modest system purchased in the belief that consumer audio simply wasn't capable of doing what I wanted from musical reproduction, to a considerably larger (46'x22.5'x12') brick + plaster dining room with thick, hardwood floor that I am converting into a listening room exclusively - housing my "end of life" system, vinyl, other media and a loveseat, plus any room treatments that become necessary - retaining my small system in my study for when I'm working. I have been reading about sound measurement et al on the site, but it's a colossal subject for a relative newcomer, so once again, I shall be more than grateful for any advice proffered.
