Ugly vs Gogeous speakers
I know speakers should be all about sound but I can't help responding to the look as well and this presents me with a dilemma.
I have owned B&W Nautilus 803's for many years and love the sound and value (excellent sound for reasonable cost). I would love to upgrade but I (and wife) think that the retro Star Wars R2D2 looking speaker (802) is nothing we would have in our living space.
What do others think the best looking / sounding speaker is? Do looks matter to you?
gdhal"Aesthetically speaking, "Ugly" and "Gorgeous" are in the eye of the beholder". I agree... IMO. The big Wilsons- ugly The Vandersteen Quatro CT, Magico, Magnepan- beautiful Volti Audio- http://voltiaudio.com/vittora/- very, very nice |
A great quote about seeing- “We see what is behind our eyes, not what is in front of them”. Us humans make up, in our minds, what is beautiful. This process is cultural, part of your own personal upbringing, and what your aesthetics, bias, attitudes, values have created. Even a “one eyed baby” is the most beautiful child in the world to it’s mother! |
