Good looking and sounding amp?


I want to spend around $2000 for a stereo amp or $4000 for a 5ch amp. Anyone has suggestions for a good amp that is also easy on eyes? Thanks, Shenzhi

Go with the Electrocompaniet ECI-3. Winner of the swimsuit competition all the way. Identical to their 2K line stage, but with a balanced 70 wt amp incld. I just got one and love it. If you don't need the power of 150 watt/ch this will get you almost as close to the high end as say the Plinius 8150 for 1k less.
Audio Refinement for the 5 Channel. It is also under 4K. The Electrocompaniet is a good choice. Brystons are always in the running...
