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

Many Audiophiles revere what the coveted as youths.
In your case not so much. 
I agree about beauty. 
This is why I refuse to listen to certain brands for fear I might like them.
I won't mention which in order to avoid a war here.
Amp- Leben, Shindo, Mac
Speaker- Chord ELS 57,most else is pretty much ugly.

Let us know what you choose!

For aesthetic beauty, it's hard to beat any component with exposed tubes. MC's lava light is nice too.

"...not to mention the aircraft I flew on to get there."

A pilot, or the designer, or the engineer(s)?

Also, the Sony. SS-M speakers were darn cool:  SS-M3, SS-M7, SS-M9.  I don't know the geometric term for their shape; maybe someone else here does?
