How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions?

Right or wrong, I have always taken what a component looks like into consideration when making a purchase. I like my components to look good.

Much like when I buy clothes. Fit, comfort and construction are important, but clothing also has to make you feel good when you wear it.

How do you feel about it.

Do you want everything to have a certain synergy of appearance, or are you okay wearing brown shoes with a tuxedo? So to speak.

The only aesthetic I hate is black faced equipment. Need a light directly on the unit’s face to read the nomenclature.

Can't say as I've seen to many high quality pieces that were unattractive.  Is it really a thing?

Zero. I have my own house of stereo, so who would care what my equipment looks like, not I, sound only. It's like art, you either like artwork on your walls that mean something or ones that match the drapes. That right there will separate the true audiophiles from the rest. And I love them all, just saying.

To me Aesthetics make 60% of my buying decision

 since I believe cables don’t make any difference DACS make difference but it’s not day and night 

speakers make huge difference but good looking always come first 

the most ugliest speakers I know is WILSON ,TEKTON ,EMOTIVA and MCINTOSH SPEAKERS 😂😅😅☺️🤣
