For the shaper blades, I think it would be possible on a stationary spindle

get the proper shape. It would take a fair sized shaper.
A lot of food for thought in those pictures. Thanks thumbsup.

Exactly on both points.
Can you believe they built this bunker just for two channel listening!!
I'm surprised they made the walls parallel. Maybe they figured it would be easier to design around a rectangular bunker than work with sloped walls.
Radiating heating in the floors, box-inside-a-box building design for sound proofing, and wall to wall diffusers with some supersized helmholtz slats. I wonder if they built the room on the golden ratio...that would make sense if they did.
I've been in a similarly treated room, but to a much, much smaller extent. And it was hands down the best, most holographic sound I've ever heard. And it wasn't even flat frequency in that room, just well treated time wise. Even on really old CD, recordings of early Van Halen...you could pick out each layer of each track, every voice in the chorus, and everything floated in the room. The details were astounding. And all that was on a $500 pair of home made two way speakers, home made speaker cables, home made 3 watt SET, from a $500 beat up old Denon CD player. The guy that owned the room said it was even better with vinyl!
So I can imagine what the room linked in this thread sounds like...but to a much, much better extent. It would be truly life changing to hear a room like this...the small room I heard certainly was to me, and I've never it's rival since.
