For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.

What are your favorite audio components and speakers based on the way they look (looked).  Yes, I know that sound is what counts and that is my major influence, but I do enjoy well designed/good looking products.   I no longer do, but did have a collection of art deco radios, both table models and consoles.....and that was all about design rather than their audiophile qualities.  Thanks

Thanks, I will take a look. 
I have spent most of my audiophile adult life based on the sonics...and I just kind of recognized how much cosmetics have been part of my private life, business life and enjoyment, but seemed to hold that back on being a factor in my audio pursuit.  The only overt "liked the way it looked" product I can remember was the CJ ART preamp.

With his rat's nest of cables and random boxes spread across a sea of 1971-vintage Marriott hotel red carpet, MC's room looks like a collision between an accident reconstruction lab at Failure Analysis and a Las Vegas brothel.  I'm shocked MC hasn't been contacted by Home & Garden magazine or Architectural Digest for a cover shot yet.
