Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
As is audio quality, aesthetics are also extremely important to me. I deeply appreciate and respect individuals whom dare to cut their way through the cardboard walls and work outside of the proverbial box. Remember that the audio equipment that we select will become immersed in our household décor...
I understand and agree with that. There have been highly rated and much loved components and speakers that I didn't buy just because I didn't like the looks. Speakers are audio transducers
and furniture, and are highly subjective and personal. Even more of a consideration if you are co-habitating with a significant other.
There is no right or wrong on the physical perception any more than there is on the audible perception.
The B&W Nautilus that you showed is not my personal cup of tea. I know I would frequently catch them out of the corner of my eye and get an emotional flash from the Alien movies. But if I saw them in your home, I would ask if I could very gently run my hands over them.
Likewise, there have been sculptures I have seen at art museums that I was fascinated with and found it hard to look away, but I would not want to live with them in my home environment.
