If it is really ugly I won't have any fun looking at it. So, I have a pair that look...well...nice but boring (Audiovector M1 Signature) and a pair that looks kinda cool, but still sounds good (Mirage Omni 50). Now the Mirage are no comparison to the M1s, but they are a great bargain for the money and manage to do the huge soundstage thing with good, albeit not pinpoint imaging. But, hey, there is only a $2k price difference. I still really enjoy listening to the Mirages...kind of fun.

No MBLs or other wierd things...I've got to look at them, and couldn't enjoy the music if I was laughing or feeling stupid if friends stop over.
