Let's not concede the word "Audiophile" to those who love everything but the music. These people are better classed and labeled as equipophiles -- they buy for status, or to impress their friends, or to demark how wealthy they are, and the visual 'aesthetic' component is at least as important as the sound (that is, if they ever get around to listening to something other than test tracks that show just how deep the bass goes....)

I love music -- and as I listen to it mostly in the dark, I don't care if there is a visual monstrosity out there in my audio room, as long as it sings sweetly to me, and lets me hear my Mahler as though I were at the Vienna Musikverein. It's purpose is not to impress my friends, but to convey music as accurately and truthfully as possible.

Audiophile = lover of music

I am in the process of building the 2nd pair of LX521's in Singapore... certainly in the 5th-10th pair in the world I am hoping.

All parts are almost in hand...some caps and resistors yet to land in my hands here, but drivers and wood all sourced. Boards and plans in hand. Time and effort now required to get them done in the next 2 weeks I hope.
