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.
We’re nerds, not decorators.
Some of us try, but everyones tastes on interior design is different. Personally I love super stark hyperminimal interior design as much as I also love busy maximalism, but I’m also extremely messy, cheap, single, and have lots of crap I need to sell so my room looks appalling.
