Best looking reel to reel

Pioneer 909 - I have one, along with an Akai and a Sony! Fun to play with, but not easy to get 7 1/2 IPS recorded tapes!

For me a Revox B77 Mk 11, high speed. Sold my mint condition, fully serviced, one 10 years ago. Another stupid HiFi mistake I still regret.

There's so many cool looking R2R, I especially like the vertical standing models. Revox PR99 MKII, Tascam BR-20, Technics RS-1500, Akai 747, Studer A807 and A810.
The reels and NAB adapters makes a big difference, these I call audio jewelry, up to you on how blingy you wanna get with these accessories.

IMO, the big Crown recorders with their large, black, bakelite knobs, are the quintessence of the art deco/industrial age.  Next, or on the same plane, would be the Studers and Ampex studio recorders.  If TEAC is your ideal, then maybe you don't want that look; you want TEAC/Akai/Technics/Sony.  Among the Japanese decks, Otari comes closest to the big three in appearance and perhaps in performance when properly tweaked, IMO.
