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.

McIntosh does it for me, I still have a pristine Marantz 2325 receiver that is real eye candy as well and tactile feel that is hard to match. 

Al,

That's an amazing and beautiful picture of the Sparton Nocturne radio. I have never seen or heard of it before. It reminds me of round blue mirrors and small tables with blue mirror glass from that period that I have seen at flea markets in the past. Thanks!

When I think of beauty in 70s receivers, the Sansui receivers were just that. Pioneer and Kenwood also made some fine looking examples as well. I was just a teen and couldn't afford them but I had two different MCS receivers from JC Penny. And they sounded pretty good.
