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.
You’re focusing on the lava lamp and cramped room crowd, but I’m more offended by the guy who has a 50k set up in a large room that looks like what a bad contractor thinks is fancy. Gray floors, tacky abstract art, contemporary long slim gas-operated fireplace, rug that looks like it belongs in an office, etc
This isn’t exactly what I mean, but comes closest on a quick browse: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fvertzlrful7b1.jpg
