Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ?


Time for what I hope is another fun thread. Please include links if you can.

I'm curious to everyone what you think the hottest/sexiest most interesting integrated or receiver ever was. For me, brands like these would probably be in the running:

  • Carver
  • Kyocera
  • Tandberg
  • Revox (old)

It didn't have to work, or sound good. Just had to do it for you in the looks department.

Myself and 2 friends all owned Marantz receivers in the 70's. They were so elegant and beautiful. I was always proud to own one, and of course, at that time, I didn't think that there was much that was better until I bought a McIntosh 2100 amp.
Those spartons are gorgeous enough to get just about anyone all wiggly inside.

Hovland did some nice stuff, but those spartons, are just - wow.

Want. Very much want. And copies simply will not do.
