Music creates mood and so does lighting. I purchased a pair of 2800K (warm white) LED floor spot lights and placed them behind my towers. This is the only light I use in our living room when listening. My speakers now look incredible. This shows off my speakers and helps to set up such a great ambient mood in the room. Very relaxing and it helps me to focus more on the music. A great sound system combined with subtle lighting enhances the feeling you get when sitting down to listen to music. We now spending more than 50% of our time in our living room than in our family room. For the past 31 years we used our living room twice a year. We referred to it as our museum. Now we call it our music room.
Bright or Dim?
Have you ever noticed that when listening to music in your listening area that music seems to sound better with the lights down? To me there is a rather noticeable difference. Could be just in my mind because that's how I like to listen, or is it something more biological/scientific than that? Could it be that the lessoning of one sense enhances the other? Maybe it's just me. Anyway I thought I would see if anyone else has the same experience. Im sure if there is an actual reason for this phenomena, that someone on this forum will have the answer :)
