Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up...

Hello All,

You know I see all these specially designed and built home movie theaters. And they’re magnificent. And of course they all have in wall speakers. I also understand that most people don’t want to see all of the equipment. But I do. Sometimes I will just look and admire my setup (especially my speakers, but my amp too) even when I’m not listening. That’s why for me looks are very important. I feel like up to a certain point within a speaker manufacturers lineup/range everything looks mostly normal but then after about their mid line things start getting weird, LOL! I’m a lifelong Dynaudio lover and even if cost was no object the highest I’d go is Contour....Even if I were to have a true in home movie theater built I would want the speakers visible...Any of you sometimes just like to look and admire your rig?

I took pictures of mine and sometimes gaze in wonder at the extreme over the top "I don't care how it looks" of it all. Like Ricky Gervais at the Oscars. You gotta admit, it takes real talent to reach this level of aloof. Like a tourist trap in Las Vegas, the sheer size and audacity of the velvet 3D Dogs Playing Poker is so uber kitsch you can't not look. Like we all know to drive and not look at the wreck, we all know this, until we get there and.... look at the wreck.
