is what I personally know. I experience a sort of aversion to stuff that is 'ugly' and aesthetically out of whack. To 'excuse' ugly form by claiming it to be a result of function is just that: a silly excuse for an absents of 'goodness'.
As to this Blumenhofer stuff --- as far as I go it is ugly, it creates an inner aversion to what ever it my do well, so it would not work for me at all.
This should answer the question if the 'looks' (aesthetic impression) of replay components are of importance to the listener. To me they are. Look at anything the MAKES music, the musical instruments, and you my see where I am coming from. I washing-powder box with a broom-stick, wash-board, etc. is just not my thing for a musical instrument, neither is it for most other people, else a grand-piano, violin, kettle drum, etc. etc. could just be made as ugly as hell, if form would ONLY have to follow function.
Putting a slob of food on your plate, even if it would taste OK --- it be best served to pigs.
Greetings,
Axel
