I'll buy for sound, even if the speakers are butt ugly. I presently own a pair of Ohm 1000's painted black. They look good to me, but I want speakers that let me forget I'm listening to speakers and allow me to concentrate on the sound rather than the source, which the Ohms do. You CAN get the best of both worlds, but the whole point is basically what appeals to my ears, not my eyes.
Ugly vs Gogeous speakers
I know speakers should be all about sound but I can't help responding to the look as well and this presents me with a dilemma.
I have owned B&W Nautilus 803's for many years and love the sound and value (excellent sound for reasonable cost). I would love to upgrade but I (and wife) think that the retro Star Wars R2D2 looking speaker (802) is nothing we would have in our living space.
What do others think the best looking / sounding speaker is? Do looks matter to you?
