The room

Café / wine bar near the BNF; private room for ~10.

Public café plus a private room for about ten, published as Tune Audio horn loudspeakers, an Éric Buy custom subwoofer, Aries Cerat valve amplification and a Soulines Kubrick turntable. Horns plus a purpose-built sub and single-ended-leaning valve power is a small-room, high-efficiency private listen — the café and the sealed room should not be described as one system.

About the sound system

How the system serves the room

At Listeners, the equipment record identifies Tune Audio Horn loudspeakers in the private listening room; model unspecified. A horn-based approach can provide useful dynamic headroom, but aiming the speakers and balancing direct sound against room reflections remain central to shared listening.

Placement, room acoustics and operating level still determine the result. Published information does not establish all amplifier assignments, processing settings or the reasons behind the original purchase.

Technical interpretation based on the documented equipment; selection motives and measured in-room performance are not confirmed.
