Updated. Replaced RSW-15 with SVS SB 3000 and added Bluesound Node 2i and also switched from Tidal to Apple Music since they added lossless.

Thank you. It’s shiplap, can be found at Lowes. We had a general contractor install it.
 
System update: Bluesound Node 2i, Apple TV 4K and Peachtree Carina GaN. Very simple set up now. I like the Peachtree much better than my previous tube pre + class AB amp. It has a "Dacless" design and features new GaN FETs instead of traditional Mosfets. No idea where the upgrade is coming from as I essentially changed the DAC, preamp and Amp all at once. The control and transparency is noticeably better. My Ethos are much more dynamic than I had previously assumed and they can handle much more complicated passages with ease.

I really like the Apple tv 4k. When it first came out it was horrible for Dolby Atmos. I have a very long thread about it on here. Their engineers thankfully must have figured out the issue and fixed it. The atmos is flawless now. I spent many hours on the phone with Apple, as did others. They listened and used our feedback to help them.
 
The remote is programmable to control the Peachtree which is nice. Very minimalistic approach
 
@macallan Nice set up. Almost a zen feeling in that photo.
