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:

  • Carver
  • Kyocera
  • Tandberg
  • Revox (old)

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

Can't compete with Spartan Nocturne, but perhaps an honorable mention: http://www.primare.net/assets/_managed/products/files/Primare_I32_front_angleRGB.jpg

Also, +1 for Nakamichi. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&am...

I do like the way Primare and other modern systems look.

Any idea how they sound?

My first stereo was a new AR receiver and a pair  of 4a's? I thought the receiver was quite elegant at the time and $425 in 1969

My dad had a Mac 1900 in the early 70's hooked up to Klipsch Cornwalls. Man that system could rock. Probably what got me interested in audio ha ha
