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.

The Yamaha receivers from 1973 to 1977 which were the CR-1000, CR-800, CR-600, CR-400. They had silver front panels, soft green backlighting, and light oak wood cabinets. They looked like nothing else on the market and were sold unchanged for 4 years.
The Symphonic Line Kraftwerk MK2  integrated amp was a sight to behold with not only a chromed face plate but a fully chromed mirror-like chassis.  Incredibly rare...can't remember the last time I saw one for sale.
