VPI had this show on lockdown -
These guys had two identical adjoining rooms with two identical systems playing the same music to show the benefits of room treatments -

No actually it was a live performance to a track that was previously recorded.

That's my buddy in the pic on the left^. When I sat in that chair later they were playing some opera and I asked if it was an alto singing or a contratenor. One of the people running the room was sitting behind me to the side and said "Be careful that is this guys brother singing" This guy being the cellist you see in the photo's above and he was sitting right behind me. I cannot for them life of me recall his name though.He told us he was about to perform upstairs,so we went up with him and watched the mini show in the room in which you see him pictured.
