I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?

The curved cage on Primaluna amplifiers is extremely ugly. Their shiny cases do not help. Visually, they are worse than forgettable. I like the look of Line Magnetic amps, but they sound terrible. Is there a decent alternative?

Were you bothered by the fact discovered by JA in the Stereophile -- that the Hegel amp he analyzed did not have good thermal management?

Looks like Jadis has a nice little integrated. I haven't heard it.

Totally agree.   As hideous as they are, the opposite is true for their bang for the buck.  I couldn't live with one.

mbiestek ...Could be said of your KEF Blades also. Not the most appealing looking speaker, but I’m sure they sound great...
