Rob,
I agree with you about the looks of the 2.7s ,they are gorgeous
the 3.7s kinda look like a skinny r2d2.
Ha, just this weekend I had a guest say the 3.7s looked like a skinny R2D2!
Having hosted a gathering of pals, I was doing a little poll as to which speakers I should keep, on looks alone. For me it seems a no-brainer: the 2.7s. Yet opinion was divided on the looks of the speakers with, to my surprise, slightly more people preferring the look of the big 3.7s!
They thought the 3.7s looked a bit more cool, different "statement-like."
