What area or country do you live in ?

Maywood NJ. 12 miles away from NYC. 

Kansas City Metro Area!!....not exactly the audiophile capitol of the country. But, it is definitely becoming a high end hometheater hub in the country.

 

Many homes around here have significant sized basements. Relatively young guys have started finishing/converting basements into hometheater rooms, learning about audio, upgrading speakers, measuring/treating their rooms, integrating subwoofers correctly, etc and are able to produce some very high quality sound even for a 2 channel application in their theater rooms. There is definitely the trend of multipurpose theater/entertainment rooms for movies, music, games, etc here.

 

Proud of my underdog city where dudes are perhaps not as well off as dudes in other affluent parts of the country...but, they are definitely breathing new life into a dying hobby....

@jond, yes Detroit has fallen far. There was a time, as I'm sure you know, when Detroit was a a thriving city. Much of the decline was secondary to 'white flight.' The infamous riots wreaked havoc  as well. African Americans moved into the white neighborhoods and people fled to the suburbs. One of the Miracles of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles moved 2 doors down from my house.Dinah Washington and her professional football player husband bought a home on the corner. Good things are happening at last, but the heyday is long gone.
