Sound quality is always uppermost, but what’s even more important is the way people actually live, maximising the time one can enjoy music, day to day, hour to hour. Sometimes a dedicated rack simply isn’t possible. A radiator or window can’t be moved, there’s no more room for another box, and that fancy network switch that would surely finish the system off has nowhere to go.
Here we have a beautiful Lotus system situated in the customer’s main living and dining area. For much of the time, the music here is simply part of everyday life, accompanying people as they go about their day. The challenge, therefore, is to integrate the system beautifully and inconspicuously into the space, while extracting the very best possible sound from the limitations at hand, and paying little or no penalty for the compromises of the brief.
Crucially, that means remarkable performance from a relatively small number of boxes, ingenious solutions for equipment isolation, and the creation of a truly gigantic soundstage with fabulous off-axis performance. Because the best seat in the house is sometimes simply wherever life happens to take you.
