Not trying to be provocative. I just genuinely don’t under why people who obsess over creating the best possible sonic experience in their homes—and are willing to spend a fortune on equipment to do so—don’t seem to care much at all about the appearance of the rooms that they’ll be spending so much time in. There are so many photos on here of dreary man caves with bad carpets and tacky furniture, many of them overstuffed with multiple sets of amps and speakers and giant cables snaking all over the floor. I love this subreddit and the passion people have for stereos and great-sounding music. I’m just a bit confused by why people who have so much aesthetic sophistication in one area seem to lack it another.
some people have awesome gear. some also have great listening spaces. there are people who prioritize one over the other. sometimes, you’ll get someone who’s got a knack for quality hi-fi gear and an amazing sense of interior design. but maybe they’re not the best photographer. there are those who can check all three, but maybe they don’t post, or their posts and images are buried. lots of cool stuff online, so keep looking and maybe you’ll find some gems that interest you!
