[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 34793, member: 34"] Then an audio [b]slob[/b] must someone who could have gotten something better looking with the same price/performance, but settled for whatever. Joking, of course, but there's also the consideration of resale value. I simply refuse to buy old NAD, ARCAM, Rotel equipment because they don't have lasting looks, generally (and I can only afford used equipment). If the equipment [i]looks [/i] upmarket, my guess is that it will have a better resale value. This might be a different class of snobbishness, but if the gear is going to impose on the living room space, it better look like it belongs there... (I'm not there yet, but baby steps). [/QUOTE]
