## Summary

Luxury homes, clubs and cultural venues are adding dedicated listening rooms, designed around high-quality audio and focused music listening. The trend offers an analogue retreat from digital distractions and suggests that, for some affluent clients, a carefully designed sound experience has become as desirable as a screening room.

Artist and audio designer Devon Turnbull is building a music room for Not a Hotel: The Nigo House in Japan, due to open in April, and designing four listening rooms for members-only New York club Stylus, planned for early 2027. His speakers can cost nearly $12,000, while other statement audio equipment mentioned includes a $35,000 pair of horn speakers. The spaces range from private home rooms to clubs with spatial audio, recording facilities and food programmes.
