Put a tube amp in the microwave??? why was it wet in the first place? and ???!#$$? really?
But to the point. It comes down to what you appreciate in terms of why you are in this hobby in the first place. Some people want the most expensive and really don't listen to music. it is about status. Some really know and appreciate music and just want the most real reproduction of electronic signal to sound. Some have the WAF going and it better not be ugly. Which is why we have cabinets. But who am I to question why people do this? I can only be concerned about me. I have friends and acquaintences that think I'm nuts because of listening to music instead of background music and also because of the equipment I have. So, to each their own I guess.
enjoy
