Default Design or Engineering !?

hello folks
would people agree or disagree with this........

Loudspeaker designing is playing and modifying to see how it sounds,

Loudspeaker engineering is calculating and making parts compatible.

I would say...

Loudspeaker engineering is calculating and making parts compatible, then
playing and modifying to see how it sounds.
Loudspeaker designing is calculating and making parts compatible, then
playing and modifying to see how it sounds, then making it look nice.

Crud, I misread that. I had thought it was a choice between saying that
loudspeaker design was 'art' or 'design', and I was trying to be funny and
say it was both ;-)

Bugger it, design something by caluculating it to 10 decimal places, then
build it and stick a sock in the bass port ;-)
