imagine if network state had a sound system by @matthewb

> what type of system would best suit the network state vibe?

for me, first and foremost it must be performant so that it is far beyond the average listener’s experience of reproduced music. it should look contemporary but not over the top in a loud way. timeless but not vintage.

with unlimited budget I might build something like this with FM Acoustics equipment from switzerland. make it a spiritual experience, like you’re going to a church of sound. carpet for sure.

a rite of passage, let me know if you need any advice 💜

I hit however many years old you are when you realize your bedroom should have a nice sound system

as an aside, I am realizing that there are many wealthy people in crypto (and tech more broadly) and most are very bad at spending money on material goods. I can help with this.

this is actually a great rule for hi-fi, tends to be true for the most part.

Spectral Audio is another example of a terrible website yet wonderful sounding product.

The worst the company website is the better the sound?

agreed, there is a time and a place for minimalism. reference systems are certainly not that place: bring on the boxes, cables, stands, and everything else.

a bit of chaos is fine if the output is beautiful.

quality is a must. so much sound is hidden by cheap speakers. 

i also like minimalism and hiding stuff, but on the other hand some stuff is just cool to see.

we have acoustically transparent projector screens now, so thats cool. would probably add one of those and stack some subs and horns MORE POWEEERRR
