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:
It didn't have to work, or sound good. Just had to do it for you in the looks department.

My Sansui 9090db gets more open jaw looks than anything I've ever owned. Its pretty no doubt. I always loved the look of the Pioneer SX 1150/1250 receivers. Had both for a while. The build quality was stellar! And yes... Marrantz 2270 is killer... But really weren't all the receivers from this period? I can't really think of any that were bone ugly. N. |
I always cared more about sound than looks, and my systems tend to be ugly, bare tubes, rusty transformer covers and wires all over the place. But appearances are important, especially where user interfacing occurs or if there's a wife or girlfriend involved. So I'll have to vote for the Marantz integrateds, like the 1030, or the Hong-Kong built Tandberg 3030 receiver, if you like lots of knobs and switches. I have one of these in my bedroom. These are much nicer than the more popular models with the blue lights. However, if you're willing to expand the OP and include separates, nothing but nothing beats a Pye Mozart set. http://umeya.bz/php/vintageaudio/pict.php?pic=manager/upfile/65_549444feeed1b2.jpg |
