@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

I watch the Snowpiercer series and never noticed the tube amp. I’ll have to look much more closely tomorrow night when the new episode comes on.  Thanks for bringing it to my attention.   

It can get complicated, but sometimes items in a movie are there because somebody wants it for themselves after the movie is finished.  You can pay actors millions of dollars and some will still keep the clothes or the watch their character wore.  Sometimes it's an expensive car.  Why not audio equipment?

@j-wall totally agree. He is a little inept, but I sympathize with him hiding out in his stereo.
