If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear

WOW  i GUESS if ITS that EXPENSIVE IT HAS TO BE GOOD  NO  SPEND 2K ON ROOM ACOUSTICS AND YOU ARE HALF WAY THIRE GREG USMC

Why would anyone assume someone who is willing to spend large $$$ on a system would not have dealt with room acoustics?

P.T. Barnum was right.

"All that glitters is not gold"    

No, the glittery stuff are diamonds. Gold is the shiny yellow stuff.

If one listens to appreciate the beauty of music, why not also appreciate the beauty of visual design? Assuming, of course, that the latter does not diminish the former.

I could never come close to affording even a knob on an OMA amplifier, but the design and execution of OMA products is stunning. If one can afford it, why not surround oneself with beauty in all its forms?

To use an automotive analogy, a 911 Turbo performs beautifully, but is in many ways mundane. You want performance combined with a truly special aesthetic? Try a recreation, like an Eagle E-Type Lightweight, or an Alfaholics GTA-R. They are the equivalent of OMA products.
