When Money Is No Object -- You Buy Bose?

I saw this on the check out line at the supermarket.  The pit living room is the cover shot for this month's Dwell magazine.  There are many things I like about the house, not that I would make the same choices, but it's a nice look.  The integration of the building and the terrain is marvelous.  However, the Bose 901s and how they're positioned with all that glass just made me laugh.  Did a designer do that to them as a joke?

People who live in glass rooms shouldn't throw sound waves.

There was a pretty rough picture of Faye Dunaway’s living room back when she was a top performer in H-wood--she had someone custom build in stacked Quad ESLs so they effectively disappeared but, it was hard to tell from the picture--they appeared to be floating on a partition wall.
You rarely see hi-fi, let alone hi-end hi-fi, in photos of major real estate interiors. That glass cube of a room would be tough to do without some sculptural pieces of furniture, which I don't think is the look they were trying to achieve. Conversation pits, to my mind, go with shag rugs.
