Do you care about the LOOK???

looks sure do matter,i tried to get past the look part of the hobby & i couldnt,ive tried out a bunch of kick a$$ gear & some of it was better than what i was running but it looked so fugly that i had to ditch it.

if i had a rig where all the gear was hid in a closet i might not care but all my stuff is out where everybody can see it so if it dont look great i wont even bother to even listen to it because ive learned that i wont keep it long.

you can have great sound & great looks too without compromising sound quality.

"Elegant, just like a Rolex..."
Darn it, when will people learn that Rolex is not elegant, or accurate, or well-made but rather is a tasteless equivalent of Bose....

wow! i dont know squat about watches but i would say that comparing a rolex to bose is rather hard core,dont ya think ?

If yer gonna spend as much money as you'd normally spend on a piece of gear, it better be asthetically pleasing too right?

when I asked the Rolex salesman about "how well the watch kept time" compared to the seiko on my arm, his reply bowled me over laughing:

"sir, the gentleman that wears a rolex is allowed to be ten minutes late to a meeting"

(I know wear a Ulysse Nardin)
