This is a quote from an article interview with Bob Stuart on Duncan's site, by the Huffington Post. It is concerned with the (cheap) tweeter concern.
Nowadays it�s quite common � people are used to Apple making nice looking products, and you expect a degree of design. But back then there was nothing. Audio didn�t look special. We�ve always tried to synthesise designs where the appearance and the function are together.
In other words, form follows function and everything we do in the appearance there�s a reason for it, and everything we do on the inside there�s a reason for it. So we wouldn�t make a cynical product like that.
You might make a headphone out of a particular material to give it the right mass or to make it look attractive. That�s okay but to overcharge because the cable is made of Kevlar is nothing to do with the sound. In fact it�s quite likely to destroy the sound if it�s got the wrong dielectric. Like in anything, expensive doesn�t mean good.
