I have failed to mention that the design of AMP-1***IS PERFECTLY FINE FOR DIY***. I can make one myself and enjoy the design in my home as I'm sure many chipamp builders do. That is the beauty of DIY. In no way do I want that to be misunderstood.But when a *company* is established (is there a CO. called Amp Zone?)you are going to be subject to the respect and scrutiny of all you expect to have buisiness with. That's why you never really see things like lots of amp companies with big blue VU meters, sure they're cool. By and large companies *strive* to stay out of each others way by designing or "trade dressing" in an effort to avoid commonality problems. And by and large hifi mfgr'ing works this way. Hifi is diverse and new designs like your acrylic are cause for celebration. And the simpler the product, the easier it is to design unique appearance. Don't let "consumers" dictate to you what you should be making and marketing. Based on what I see, you are capable of *leading* on your own and creating stuff every bit as wonderfull as Junji Kimura. But not at the direction of "market experts". Be your own guide.
Notjust sonics, I deserve the whole enchilada. That's just me.
My wife and I have over 50 years experience designing and creating professionally. She has taught on the college level only to have students appear on the scene years later with hideously similar works and we know "they did not get it". Then some create the most wonderfull original works that light our fire and everyone else's. They go on to amaze a respectful audience.
I will champion the cause for originality out of respect for those that taught me.
And I'm wasting productive time explaining this.
