For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.

It would be best not to say which country, but when I had my Modern/Scandinavian furniture store, an excellent company made furniture for a market that they did not sell elsewhere.  When I asked the company about this, the owner said the _______ buy their furniture by the pound. 

+1 on the Mac gear, I've always loved the look and a LOT of the Mac sound..

My Cary V12r is a beauty with sound to match..
Just heaven to listen to small planars with..

VMPS RMx Elixirs. Still have a pair and still love the look.. I love the sound even more. Though it has been 2 years.
  
I've been listening to RM30, I can't seem to break the spell... Easier to move too.. :-)

I like the look of them all dolled up too, VMPS RM30s.

Regards

I don't care about the looks of my equipment per say, since  I never really look at it as most of it sits by my side. But I do care greatly about the looks of the wall behind my speakers in my house of stereo  since that's what I always look at. Hence it features artwork and color tones I can relate to and relax in. If my room looked like a science lab in front of me, even with a million dollar system in it, I would have very little enjoyment. To me the music experience is more than just the ears, it also involves every other senses. Just me.

If my room looked like a science lab in front of me, even with a million dollar system in it, I would have very little enjoyment.

But what if it looked like a science experiment accompanied by a backdrop created with cheap, red, pealing wallpaper paired with wainscoting reminiscent of Kandy Kitchen in the malls?  Would that help your overall sensory experience and musical enjoyment?

I rather not get into personal references, but that would be the death of my audio pursuit.
