Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ?

Marantz Reference MA-9 amps. And they sound phenomenal too.

I like the Art Audio Symphony II with the polished stainless steel chassis especially at night.
It has 2 output tubes, 2 rectifiers and 4 small signal tubes all reflecting off the chrome like chassis. Also has two little blue lights (actually crystals) about the size of a pencil eraser that light in a subtle way.

Sounds good also.

Was it Wavelength Audio that made a poweramp that looked like a V-8 engine (maybe it was even called the V-8)?

Off the top of my head, I'd say that Joule, Pathos, Bel Canto, some of the Cary monos, KR, and Mac are all striking looking devices. Each in a different way.

Nakamichi PA-7 or PA-7II with the rack handles. IMO it just looks real bad a$@. When I look at it I think that it just exudes I will eat any speaker alive.

The Italians do seem to do elegant, simple design, like knowone else. New Audio Frontiers, Pathos, including the inpol on it's way to me now.

Not to much US exposure, but the Korean Emille amps, are just gorgeous to. I am listening to their K40 integrated now. It's going back to the dealer, the Inpol sounds that bit better.

Burmester. Love that Teutonic chrome. And more importantly, Burmester sounds better than it looks (which is awesome).

I rather like Ancient Audio amps for their aesthetics.

Another vote for the Carver Silver Seven monoblocks. They just command attention when you see them.

I think my Wavestream V-8 is very cool. 'Cept when it's playing music.

Cary V-12s
Pathos Adrenaline
McIntosh when in a complete "Mac Stack"

I really like the looks of the Jolida FX-10 tube integrated, especially for $450.

I'll probably never own a VAC Phi Beta so I might settle for the little Jolida. Nice sounding as well from what I have heard.

My favorites (visually) are:
1. Emotive Audio Vita and Caeli
2. Cary 40M
3. Classe CA300

I own the last two but not, unfortunately, the Emotive amps.

I bought a Pioneer M-22 power amplifier based on its looks. I have kept it because of its sonics. It is truly fun to listen to music through this amplifier.

Years ago we wanted a different looking amp that would be a complete departure from anything we had done at the time. I consulted with one of my employees on this, who had an art degree and now works for Bel Canto. I gave him a pretty free reign, this is what he came up with:

They were built in left and right hand pairs. I think it is their looks that drives their resale; we have seen them go in auction for more than we sold them for new. I think its one of the better-looking tube amps out there, certainly one of the best we've done...

Not to everyone's taste, but ElectronLuv makes some unusual-looking amplifiers:

Graaf GM20. Google it! Real beauty

Pass Labs X1000.5 monos. The Krell 750 mcx moonblocs.

I love beautiful monster sized amps.
