@russbutton Nice job integrating your speakers and rack into your aesthetic. I had a 1928 Craftsman home about 20 years ago that I loved. Just had a certain coziness imbedded. Like audio gear it was eventually time for a flavor change and I’m now in a 1956 MCM home.

EAR Yoshino V12. A thing of beauty to look at. When visitors enquire about it I always introduce it as "my Mickey Mouse" amplifier
Of course there is nothing Mickey Mouse about it. It has been part of my set up for over six years and sounds magnificent. I will likely see my days out with this one

@snilf I was a college kid selling hifi when Mke Mahoney showed up with the Tesla’s. They looked great, but man did the top end just sizzle. Mated with warm tubes like the VAC, they sounded nice if a bit muddled on the bass. I personally liked them but after CGs review, we couldn’t give them away unless the customer wasn’t an audiophile and didn’t read Sphile.

Sevi01 elevates this thread by introducing Dieter Ram, one of the most influential designers in our lifetimes.  I don’t really want to own a Braun stereo, but the man is an amazing designer (and team player).   So many Braun products are icons, and have influenced a couple of generations of our best designers.  Most hi-fi products look like absolute shite.
