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.

my system looks bad because it’s optimised for sound, not looks. if i had to make it look good I’d have to pull out my treatment and that’ll make it sound worse.
same as cooking. i can cook tasty food but i don’t care about the plating and presentation. just tasty stuff in a bowl.
