Pbb? They do transcend the laws of physics (as we have known them) as regards to sound - as most people, who have actually heard them, agree. But if you want to talk ergonomics, a superset of industrial design, then we will have to talk about ease of deployment, child/pet safety issues, room temperature impact, as well as visual appearance. Edge does very, very well in these categories compared to other amplifiers.
If you just want to talk about one's personal preferences as regards to the 'most beuatiful amp', which I believe is already a thread somewhere else, (and almost laugh-out-loud funny with all the contrasting points of view) then I personally think that almost all solidstate (and most tubed) amps are just boring looking boxes, with the two notable exceptions being the Edge NL Reference and the Halcros... but who should care what amps someone else thinks look awesome? All amps have their fans who love their appearance, including the Spectral and Edge amps.
Enjoy!
Mike.
