Difficult! I'll try and put it into words...

I like design to be as clean as possible without "fiddly bits" that look out of place.

I like bold visuals, but they must also be balanced.

Comparing the DSP7000 and DSP7200 pictures below, both are bold designs. However, IMO, the display on the 7200s detracts from the visual where it is beautifully integrated in the 7000s. Also, the four drivers of the 7200s look very clean, but for me the balance isn't there. They might be ok without the display above the tweeter. There is something about the black grill of the silver 7000s which contrasts well with the tweeter and mid drivers. Perhaps it's a golden ratio thing?

But I also have to say that, and maybe it's the colour or the angle of the photography, I don't like the 7000s in red nearly as much. In fact, the ratios of the grills to drivers in the silver and red photos look completely different... Was one a mock-up?
