Do you think there’s value in spaces dedicated to listening to full albums or private listening rooms?

I think most people who would be willing to pay for it are also willing to pay for a good setup at home. I absolutely love kicking back and listening to a full album at home. I have a pair of Yamaha HS8 speakers with the matching subwoofer and it sounds pretty dang good for not a crazy expense. I'd

New To Synth Minilogue XD

It all depends on your budget! I mostly recommended these because they are only $119 for a pair. Monitor speakers can go up to the 5 figure mark for one each. Of course, those are only useful if you also have a fully acoustically optimized room. Yamaha has the HS5 and HS8. These also have a subwoofe
