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

If my room looked like a science lab in front of me, even with a million dollar system in it, I would have very little enjoyment.

But what if it looked like a science experiment accompanied by a backdrop created with cheap, red, pealing wallpaper paired with wainscoting reminiscent of Kandy Kitchen in the malls?  Would that help your overall sensory experience and musical enjoyment?

I rather not get into personal references, but that would be the death of my audio pursuit.
