I don’t know who does and doesn’t listen to hi-fi, but I do know that every realtor I have ever spoken with has said if you want to sell your house, the hi-fi has to go, including the two I had to crowbar out of the sweet spot on occasion. No one wants to even see it. An empty room would be better than a dedicated one. The most clever one asked for a ballpark value for my rig, because that’s how much he was going to reduce the asking price. Then he offered to buy it. I set it up at a friend’s and our house sold for asking a couple days later.
My two 4 year-old granddaughters love to dance in the room with the “big music”. My wife made it half-way through Songbird asking how I could stand to listen to something that intensely intimate. Same thing with daughter-in-law and Just a Little Lovin’. She barely made it to the bridge before it was, “Nope, nope, nope way too emotional.”
