For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.


What are your favorite audio components and speakers based on the way they look (looked).  Yes, I know that sound is what counts and that is my major influence, but I do enjoy well designed/good looking products.   I no longer do, but did have a collection of art deco radios, both table models and consoles.....and that was all about design rather than their audiophile qualities.  Thanks

I sold Tandberg receivers in college and I would agree that they are really beautiful. Rosewood cabinet and blue lit dials.

My 17 year old self was enthralled by the look of the GAS Ampzilla in Popular Electronics. I saw the real deal a few months later in an audio show, and had to have them. Cool meters!

So I built it...and after three rebuilds, it anchors my system yet again. I love looking at it, and it sounds remarkably good too, recapped with better capacitors and better driver and output transistors.

Millercarbon, I may not agree with your comments sometimes, but you obviously put great care into the details of your system and I am sure it sounds stupendously great. Your amplifier is beautiful.
