WAF aside. Sound quality aside. What is the ugliest, most pathetic looking component you've ever had the misfortune to lay eyes on. What was so hideous it would make Bluto Blutarsky from "Animal House" hurl?
No fair picking on the mid fi crap from Circuit City, et al.
Before the moderators close down this thread like they did last time, I would like to say hello to the ugly equipment manufacturers (you know who you are). Hi to Dick, Jim, John, Bob, and Dave!
TWL, just goes to show, I happen to really like the looks of the MBL "hot air balloon" speakers! However, I really hate the looks of their huge and mega-buck power amps. They remind me of Teutonic ship ballast weights!
The new Edge amplifiers, the sorriest looking piece of equipment I have ever seen. Reinforces my suspicion that high-end manufacturers have a jolly good time laughing at their customers. To call that a piece of industrial design is a sad joke. More and more of these monstrosities are coming with wood accents, blue lights and do-ichi-poos to satisfy the folks for whom excess is the only way to go. The Edge stuff is not even good post-modern design. Those horrible Legacy speakers that look like they have been built from woodwork taken out of a turn of the century brothel or from the local Holiday Inn meeting where the Chamber of Commerce meets are also hideous an are the ones with the horns. Please spare us "originality" if you have no taste.
