Yes, the Trenner&Freidl ART is lovely, as is their ISIS floorstander, but maybe would be too big for Matt's room. I think the Pharoah is a tad smaller.
Andreas Friedl is a nice guy as well who I keep running into at European shows.
For real Cachet value and a truly INERT enclosure: Try Fischer und Fischer...see write up here:

Check out the SN/SL570 AMT,770.1 AMT and the SL1000.
The ones with the AMT are the ones to get and it seems the 770.1 is the new flagship that goes down to 24db and has max SPL of 115db. They weight 160kg each!!!
