If I decide to enjoy a beer it is always served from an ice cold glass and never consumed directly out of the bottle. In fact, if there is no glass available, I will not drink it.
Same beer, but it has to be delivered in the appropriate container.
And likewise, listening to ugly speakers or feeling comfortable turning the volume control up and down on a misshapen piece of stereo equipment is less than the ideal experience for me.
Containers are part of the whole.
Whether we want to admit to it or not.
