This is an interesting subject.  My system certainly follows the 'form follows function' rule but I have wondered how the looks of a speaker (or entire system) effects the listener's perception.  Of course we have all experienced some male grunting and hooting over the shinny things and glowing tubes.  This only led me to believe that the appearance of a system can theoretically produce a more sophisticated and music-friendly perception.  How to accomplish this while keeping axioms intact is a daunting challenge.  Of course, most people just don't bother and design what will advertise/sell well...http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/magico/mini.html

Well, I don't have a very intelligent eye for art but I would like to think ahead a bit for my own end-of-life speaker. Not "end-of-life"in the sense that it will be built and then I'll never have to mess around with speakers again, but more in the sense that it's a project that will likely kill\cripple meSmile  So, I welcome any idea that could help improve the Aesthetic Intelligence of my project.
