Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up...


Hello All,

You know I see all these specially designed and built home movie theaters. And they’re magnificent. And of course they all have in wall speakers. I also understand that most people don’t want to see all of the equipment. But I do. Sometimes I will just look and admire my setup (especially my speakers, but my amp too) even when I’m not listening. That’s why for me looks are very important. I feel like up to a certain point within a speaker manufacturers lineup/range everything looks mostly normal but then after about their mid line things start getting weird, LOL! I’m a lifelong Dynaudio lover and even if cost was no object the highest I’d go is Contour....Even if I were to have a true in home movie theater built I would want the speakers visible...Any of you sometimes just like to look and admire your rig?

Same here.

Aesthetics of any gear I'll be staring at for long periods of time are very important to me.  As it happens two of the speakers I own - Thiel 2.7 and Joseph Audio Perspectives - not only are among my favorite sounding speakers but my favorite looking speakers.  Just classy, high quality design and finishes, and I often admire them just passing by the listening room (which opens to our main front hallway) or even just sitting in the room when music isn't playing.
