Looks vs. Performance - How would you mix and match?


If you could create an integrated amp with the look of any maker, with the performance of another maker, what would you mix and match ??


I might want to mix the looks of a Yamaha P-2200 with the sound of a modern Ayre or D'Agostino. 

Or Tandberg integrated amp with the guts of an Ayre.

FTR: I did not have high hopes for this discussion.  I just thought it would take a little longer.

The number one company to have done the op job was the one that threw a $500 Oppo inside a Lexicon fancy case and upcharged $3500 for it. Snark that.
Thus the phrase, "jumped the snark"
If memory serves, it was also Theta Digital who did the same.


Of course, now these Oppos are selling for about that much on Amazon. I really wish they were still with us as an audio/video company.


Best,
