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

HH Scott for tubes! Macintosh for Int.

My vote is for Kyocera.

I bought a Kyocera 661 receiver and 310 CD player in 1987. I didn’t know much about high-end audio at the time, beyond the name McIntosh, which a friend’s father had. I lived near Myer-Emco in DC, so that’s where I went when I wanted to buy a CD player. I had bought Polk speakers there previously.

Eventually I realized—after looking at NAD, Nakamichi, Luxman, and other brands available at that time—that I chose the Kyocera components at least partly because I liked the way they looked.

Pioneer SA-9800

For the poor man, I loved the look of my old Pioneer SX-636.  Thought  it looked nicer than the competing Marantz gear of that era.  Could never warm up to that funky tuning "wheel".
