One would think that in a major recording area like Nashville TN that there would be a buncha DIY audio freaks - but that is not the case at all.
My experience with people in the recording business (Nashville, L.A., SF Bay area) is that many (if not most) of the performers have cr*p at home for an audio system. They usually are performing at clubs or concerts or tied up in the studio and by the time they get home they simply don't have much interest in listening to MORE MUSIC!

Well it's understandable - after a few days screwing around in da room with all of the dials - pots - meters - and electronic thingies the last thing I would have on my mind is going home and listening to some more music.
Plus - most of 'em have better things to do than screwing around with home audio gear. Things like writing - recording - performing - looking for a new gig - new band - - - - - new career
OTOH - a lot of those musician kids can get serious about "tweaking" their amps or instruments!!!
