I heard that when Oprah bought a Penthouse apartment, her PA furnished it with Martin Logans as they ribbons wer semi-transparent and matched the drapes...true story! Not done primarily for sonics but rather for looks with the assurance of decent SQ.
It's a trend in the USA due to our overly processed foods as our beef is produced by massive corporate farms. When Americans visit Europe or Asia they are usually surprised how much better the meat tastes.
I am used to providing citation when I make comments, much like writing lab papers in school or a paper in English class with footnotes and or end notes.
In short, I want to assure you that I'm not just pulling comments out of my rear end unsupported.
I used to wonder what people did in their McMansions as I drove by subdivision after subdivision, what did they do with all that space?
Huge kitchens, but they dine out or order carry out, maybe hit the prepared meal line at Whole Foods on the way back from work.
Three and four car garages mostly filled with junk and lost desires of yesterday that lost their glimmer.
Sure they had a huge TV with maybe a soundbar or a Bose AM-5 system, but nothing resembling Hi-End, not needed with background music to be talked over.
I do not consider those people rich as it looks like a form of poverty to me, empty and transient.
Just a commentary based on personal observations and musings.

Indoor living space is luxurious. (Up until the point where a house becomes so large that you don’t even want to think about cleaning it.)
Three and four car garages are nice to have if one likes automobiles. I wish I had a three or a four car garage! (We have a two car garage with a slightly weird adjacent two car tandem-style car port.)
Tinka and I literally do not own a TV, so it is, as always, a matter of personal preference and individual cost/benefit analysis.
Having lived in Manhattan for many years where living space and storage space is at a huge premium, I actually have a “thing” about enjoying looking at storage space (maybe an empty shelf in a pantry closet) which is not filled up with anything.

Whenever I see the inside of these houses eg With The Kardashians etc, all I notice is the ECHOOOOOooooo!!!!
All that money, and for what? Acres of hard surfaces, bland color schemes and unwelcoming materials.
And no wonder they don't run proper audio systems, that echo is killer.

Nothing like being in a house w audio/AV system boxed up. I did that for 12 months on my move/renovation. And another 18 months to sort out my analog.
Brutal.
the exact cuts were presented to our table at selection; pretty awesome and the marbling was 'as you say' perfect.
i've had Wagu before, nothing like that. and an appropriate price too.....but no quibbling. value delivered. the meal was last March, and the memory is etched clearly in my mind.

Japanese Yakiniku, chacoal grilled meat, is very popular in asia. Many marbled meats are available like choosing Koetsu cartridges. I don't know if it is popular in Seattle but Yakiniku is great for family dine out. Very delicious plus fun grilling with your friends and family members. A good business opportunity for big city if there isn't one there.
