Nice looking - for living room?

I'm looking to add a second system this year, up in the living room. The room is 12 x 20. It will be used at lower levels - party/dinner accompaniment and lower level listening. The constraints: $8K MAX, must be Nice To Look At(as decreed by my boss).
Pieces needed: CD player, amp/pre, small (or thin) speakers. I'm thinking maybe Salk or Tyler speakers, tube amp/pre, CD - I dunno? I think in terms of looks, Sim Supernova with their new integrated (I7?) is pretty cool looking and totally integrated - but of course all SS. And would blow the budget. Pretty damn good solid state, though. I would entertain used, but probably not on the player.
Please, unleash your thoughts!

As a caveat; my requirements were similar.
Minimal footprint (unobtrusive), no spikes allowed, most excellent sound. (high WAF).
I'll put the music enjoyment factor of my combination up against anything in the price range.
Blue Circle NSCS integrated amp. (www.bluecircle.com)
Shahinian ARC speakers (www.shahinian.com) They've been making speakers for a many a year. Their products are loved in Europe.
The synergy is outstanding. The sound unfatiging.
