When buying used speakers are cosmetics important to you?

@dekay 

Yes I bought them. 
I felt the same as you on the scratches.  Were they worth $15k more for new?Absolutely not.
I’m 74. I don’t get OCD much anymore. But I do get anxiety waiting for UPS and FEDEX deliveries of audio equipment and vinyl. 

I have Totems now and one characteristic of their DNA is they disappear in the music

I always put on my makeup before I buy speakers. 

Nobody’s perfect though some speakers come pretty darn close. 
 

Call me shallow but we all know that looks matter.  The proof is all around us.  

We want a positive all around experience.  Perfection is nice but overrated.  I can live with minor defects but I want my babies to look the part.  What does that mean?   Who knows…other than one pays for perfection and it does not come cheap.  
 

No.
