This may not be a popular opinion but I have reached the conclusion that the aesthetic of a studio is more important than the acoustic. My ideal environment is a bright room filled with art and light birchwood parket flooring with a view and space for everything. High ceilings too. Fresh air. Since this is a floor thread, I just love birchwood floors. They look great. I would take a beautiful space over a highly conditioned anechoic chamber with perfect stereo definition if those were the only choices.
