So maybe for a high end manufacture of audio - having a component look like it sounds good is actually more important than having one that actually sounds good - LOL
for me personally Wilson speakers look really cool but never quite sound as good as they look .... other than their dynamics - but I can never recall walking out of a Wilson room thinking they blew my mind ,,,,, yet I have seen newbie audiophile with their jaws on the ground listening to them .... where as the silly looking Audio Note speakers were the exact opposite ..... as if they actually care much more about the sound over the looks
they say you should never pick a Wife based on looks - its a recipe for disaster - perhaps the same with audio
its an interesting topic and a great thread
