Are you into sound stuff? I saw the panels on your wall and wasn't sure if it was just for the futuristic look or more. Usually I've seen those lining the walls of those sound testing rooms.
I think most people just want loud bass sound. Or low prices. Like with many things, when you start looking you start to realize price categories. You start to see price vs quality or overall enjoyment. The first time I heard real speakers, I think they were Kef or B &W, and could judge or compare it to what I was used to, I was shocked. It was music and not just sound. It wasn't coming from the speakers but it seemed like singer was in the room with me. Or I was in the game. The speakers I was used to seemed flat, empty, and missing so much of the music. You can't go back after that.
