My speakers are ugly. And they are currently sitting on plastic milk crates. But they are sitting on new plastic milk crates. I do have some standards I try to maintain.
Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up...
Hello All,
You know I see all these specially designed and built home movie theaters. And they’re magnificent. And of course they all have in wall speakers. I also understand that most people don’t want to see all of the equipment. But I do. Sometimes I will just look and admire my setup (especially my speakers, but my amp too) even when I’m not listening. That’s why for me looks are very important. I feel like up to a certain point within a speaker manufacturers lineup/range everything looks mostly normal but then after about their mid line things start getting weird, LOL! I’m a lifelong Dynaudio lover and even if cost was no object the highest I’d go is Contour....Even if I were to have a true in home movie theater built I would want the speakers visible...Any of you sometimes just like to look and admire your rig?

Lol, totally. I think aesthetics are so important, and affect our impression of the sound whether we know it or not. I would buy Magico, Piega, Rockport, or just about a dozen other brands based solely on how they look. Thank God I'm a control freak and have to listen to them first. If I had Vivid Kaya 45s I would talk to them too. And they would talk back to me.... |
If it looks great that's the cherry on top but unlike @ryder it first and foremost has to sound good. |
