Tube Amp in Snowpiercer

To the OP - I have pondered the same question about Mr. Wilford on Snowpiercer.  The show has gone out of its way to flash the Tubes and his love of vinyl.  

I always thought that the Martin Logan Aerius speakers were out of place in Chandler and Joey’s apartment. Then I saw the episode where he bought them. He did go broke buying them.

OP didn't the folks in the back of the train "EAT' parts.. Long pig, right?

@teo_audio,

Unlike some in this Forum (based on the replies thus far), like you, I notice set designs in movies and TV shows, and find them fascinating.  A lot of my interest stems from a buddy of mine, a "Brother From Another Mother", who was in charge of purchasing items for sets at a major U.S. film school.  I helped him from time to time when he had questions about audio equipment, and the brands and trends that were popular in certain eras.

I found that some producers and directors delve deep into the set and background minutiae, while others hardly give it a passing glance.  Those that found it extremely important created much more interesting visual works, in my humble opinion.  Of course, audio companies use product placement as a form of advertising -- all companies have been doing this since the dawn of the motion picture industry. 

If it makes a viewer want to investigate their brand or product, it has done its job.  Does that consumer behavior make the viewer someone who is "obsessed with their image"?  Far from it....SMH
