An interesting point. I think to a degree it is commoditized with the advent of things like "high end" listening chairs. I think to a degree the attention some manufacturers pay to the stylings of their products also has to count. Ironically in other similar endevours this is actually a valued aspect of the experience and given much attention. As an example most food critics will go into great depth in discussing the ambience of a restaraunt. There is no debate that it affects the eating experience and that fine food lovers not only acknowledge the importance of it but embrace it. The flavor of the food certainly isn't affected by the decore but the "experience" certainly is.
