Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ?


Hello

Most of us chose an amp for it's musicality.

But if you would chose your amplifiers for it's visual aesthetic, some great looking amplifiers, metal or wood face plate, which ones you would chose ?

Myself I would chose a Pass Lab amp, for a metal face plate. And the Sonus Faber Musica Integrated Amplifier, for a wood face place.

Thank

Bye

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:

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

I love beautiful monster sized amps.
