Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)

Well, I for one, love the look of the Tenor Audio amps.

I think some manufacturers pull it off and some don't do so good. However, my vote is influenced by the fact that I'm a woodworker.

Now, if you want something really exotic made from wood, check out this site.

Someday when I hit the lottery..........

Dislike, except on turntables
(and speakers of course).

Dislike it - I certainly wood prefer no wood trim on an amplifier or CD player. I am very particular about matching wood (kind, color) in our living area. We already use wooden boards to support the amp/CDP: any additional wood trim would probably just clash. Furthermore, just using a wooden logo (as e.g. on the Unison Unico) seems kind of pointless. However, if the sound is good, I guess, I could be convinced.

Very interesting question though: From the above answers it seems that more people dislike wood. This begs for the question where the current trend for wooden amps is coming from?

As I have learned, besides being subjective it is highly dependent on your room decor. Too much wood in your room can look tacky especially when the wood colours don't match well. If your room is light-coloured contemporary look with no wood in your room, sticking a dark coloured wood gear alongside your silver gear might stick out. I like contemporary decor but also like the warmth that wood gives to the room. Only problem I see is if your styles are mixed and matched all over the place.

Dislike it.Actually hate it.I wouldn't buy any equipment with wood on it,except speakers.Live in Canada.
