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.

To me there was never a question about beauty,it has to go to the Tandberg receivers with the green dialed Yamaha receivers second

George,

WHICH Tandberg series though, there were 3 that I know of. The svelte black and chrome line is what I fell in love with.

Best,

Eric, RE: the Primare, I think this review says it best and relates it to some peers. I picked it over the Belles Aria, though it was almost a tie, and a Creek Classic 5350SE.
