I would say it's a tie between Emotive Audio products and Rix Rax.

The Emotive products are really striking, expecially the LE versions of the Sira and Caeli which have hand etched top plates. They are all unique - no two are alike (although when you buy a pair of Caeli LE's the theme on both the monoblocks is the same)
The Rix Rax are gorgeous, especially with the Tom McKenzie inlays and feathering, but even just a stock rack in a standard finish will make your jaw drop. It's hard to grasp just how beautiful the racks are until you see them up close and in person.
If you really want to blow somebody's mind, you could put the Emotive components _on_ a Rix Rax. We do that here in the shop and it makes quite an impression.
