The HiFi Pursuit Listening Room Dream No. 3 is an immersive audio installation designed as a focused space for high-fidelity listening. The project is presented as a fully enclosed room configured to optimize sound reproduction, speaker placement, and acoustic balance. Audio components are arranged deliberately within the space, with attention given to proportions, material surfaces, and spatial orientation. The installation emphasizes controlled listening conditions rather than visual spectacle.
The room features large-format speakers, analog playback equipment, and custom furniture positioned to support sound clarity and listener comfort. Materials such as wood panels, soft furnishings, and structural elements are used to manage reflection and absorption. Seating is placed to align with the primary listening axis, allowing visitors to experience the system as intended. HiFi Pursuit Listening Room Dream No. 3 functions as a temporary listening environment rather than a commercial showroom, focusing on sound performance, spatial design, and attentive listening.
