Great systems in butt-ugly rooms

Like I said above, Albert Porter.

Yes Albert has a beautiful home but I was talking more of dedicated rooms.

I too am fussy, I always look at the mantlepiece before poking the fire.

Just because Albert Porter may live, entertain, or serve dinners in his listening room doesn't mean it isn't "dedicated".

True, it is apparent that many people have allocated all of their money for a stereo or they just don't give a hoot about how the room looks. I have noticed this though, why spend a fortune for good looking equipment only to put it in a room that looks like the set from Roseanne. Also, I love when people have a $40,000 stereo in a tiny cheapo looking apartment.
