I had 4 complete systems worth of components in a 15' X13' room at one time. The last thing I wanted was someone to see that mess. Conspicuous? I think not. I worked hard to keep people out of that room....

i expect that most audiophiles are hobbyists where music is primary.
what about those who "appreciate" quality components as a form of conspicuous consumption for its own sake, to impress other people , etc. .
would anyone admit that the reason for their component purchases was not to further their appreciation of music but to satisfy other motivations, like having a big boat or expensive car ?
