I wouldn’t spend extra solely because of looks, but if you’re spending big $ on a component it better not be hard on the eyes. When I was shopping for a new Integrated, my final choice came down to Luxman and Accuphase. Both sounded great to my ears, although different. I was initially leaning very slightly in favor of the Accuphase but couldn’t pull the trigger on it because of how it looked. Went with the Luxman 509-Z and have never looked back.
??? Would You or Have You Paid A Premium Price For A Component Because Of It's Looks ???
Simple question...
You have several choices for a new component your looking to buy...They all have wonderful sound and all the connections/features you need/want but 1 choice has a certain Je Ne Sais Quoi the others just don't have...Unfortunately that choice also carries a premium price that might cost you at least 15% & as much as 35% more than any of your other options..You have the extra $ so budget isn't the issue..
Have you,or would you go ahead & spend the premium to get that extra bit of pizzazz,knowing it's performance really isn't any better than a less expensive option,or do you follow your brain & opt to save the extra $ & get the choice that performs equally well,just doesn't quite have that something something that makes for an OMG experience even when it's not doing it's job as a music maker?
