I also have no problem of buying expensive stuff because it looks and feels nice but I would try in that case at least a nicely matching look of electronics and also not hang my parents 1970s carpets on the wall as decoration or acoustic improvement where it fails on both.I don't have any problem admitting I like having nice things.

Low depth carpets like Persian ones are except from design also acoustically not a good choice as they only damp the higher frequencies leading to a non balanced reflected reverberant sound.It's the first time I've also seen Persian carpets used as sound treatments.
Although at home I have a much smaller Turkish carpet (souvenir bought in Istanbul) to the left of my left speakers doing similar duties.
Also, you can't blame the store for the electronics on display. I specifically asked for that Luxman amp to be hooked up to the speakers.

Well, if he added the Luxman for you he can be forgiven, not for the carpets though.
So do I, still those 2 issues are independent from each other and in an ideal audio world also a nice guys shop would have some basic acoustics knowledge.I've been to audio salons where the rooms were amazingly treated, but the staff were douchebags.
I'd rather deal with nice guys and a less amazing room.

Sorry to say so but looks to me like a typical highend audiophool setup with combines the worst possible tech, sound and design quality per money spent.
Wow, pretty obnoxious. I presume you’re one of these people who believes his opinion matters infinitely more than it truly does and feels it needs to be expressed at all times, even when not asked for, nor is appropriate. Bet you bore the hell out of people at parties with your insipid monologues focused around highlighting your “superiority” to everyone else in the room.I also have no problem of buying expensive stuff because it looks and feels nice but I would try in that case at least a nicely matching look of electronics and also not hang my parents 1970s carpets on the wall as decoration or acoustic improvement where it fails on both.
The walnut veneer waterfall shown in the last picture is very nicely done.
Next time you don't have a micrometer, try a fingernail, if you didn't. That should help you detect any steps over .005" even if you can't tell with the skin of your fingertip.
I was thinking the same thing about treatment behind the panels. My first thought was, "That looks like a good way to cover up an ugly-ass burlap-covered pine frame full of rockwool."
Looking forward to your impressions and the development of your plans.
You didn't even take measurements?Oh, you want listening impressions?
Are those allowed?
After all, I was sighted and I'm biased in that I like the looks and the general house sound.
You really think you know me, well... nope, also funnily you just did much worse than you accuse me.Wow, pretty obnoxious.
