A month or so ago, I mentioned that a friend in Bishopscourt lived in a house built in 1939 by a Dutch builder who was keen on music, both small orchestras and recorded music. The main room is about 12m x 6m and is partially open on 3 sides (and you can open glass doors to the garden if required), as can be seen from the last picture which looks back into the entrance hall
The tiles on the ceiling were made in Holland in 1938 and consist of rolled compressed wool with some kind of fixative. Each tile may be unclipped from the batten by moving it up so you can gain access to a swivel clip that slots into a grooved rail which is turn is affixed to a roof batten. The tiles are about 120mm thick. There is a box of 4 spares in the garage, still wrapped in green grease-proof paper, tied with string "Wollen isolatietegels" is stamped on the crate
You can see a pair of Magneplanar's lurking at each side. There is 1 inch steel conduit leading from each speaker to the equipment cabinet which is behind the left hand panel in the top picture (the one with 2 dark brown prints on it). Whoever thought of this in 1939 was looking ahead
