In Reply to: Not so much hooked by looks as sometimes put off by looks. posted by Enophile on July 2, 2012 at 10:47:41:
If given the choice between two components that I otherwise consider of equal quality looks will certainly be the deciding factor. I'll spend some extra money for looks that appeal to me.
I tend to be a traditionalist, but not always. I ordered my present speakers in hi-gloss Ferrari red, for example.
Looks that do not appeal to me at all:
The Wilson speakers that remind me of the Daleks on the old Dr. Who series.
Most Manley stuff.
YG speakers.
MBL speakers.
Continuum turntables (sorry Mikey, you say they sound great, I contend that for the price they charge they could have improved the looks).
And so on ........
