Celebrities A/V systems - any interest?


I am thinking of writing magazine articles on the audio system's of famous people, complete with pictures and their personal philosophies/tastes in music and equipment -- if I can find a few who are willing to strut their stuff.

First of all, would you as audiophiles be interested in seeing such a feature?

Secondly, do you think that celebs would be willing to cooperate or would they see potential conflicts with themselves being viewed as endorsing products and so forth?

Does anyone remember the feature that Stereophile (or maybe Fi) ran on Fabio's outrageous Krell/Martin Logan/Infinity system a couple of years ago? I thought that was wild -- Infinity IRSes as rear channels, REALLY!

All comments are welcome, but be nice. :) If there are any famous or relatively well-known people reading this who would be interested or could offer me some insight, by all means feel free to e-mail me through Audiogon.

OK ... who really cares. I'd file any such article in the same round receptacle that I'd put Robin Leach and his antics. Fabio's house, pets, stereo, pool, kitchen, cars and LIFE have no influence on me, nor does any other celeb. I looked at the pictures of his system ... laughed and went on to the letters and recording's sections.

On the subject of musicians and their systems I have two cents to give. When I hear music I love, it mattters not if it comes from a $50k system or a clock radio, the music will still move me emotionally. I think that you'll find that musicians (myself included) are SO emotionally connected to the music that the sound is whip cream on the sundae and not the other way around, as many audiophiles seem to have it.
