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

I'm partial to my Scientific Fidelity "Tesla" speakers, and love their sound even more than their great looks. Corey Greenberg in Stereophile basically killed the company with a bad review. But Stereophile raves about others I've had in my listening room to compare (by PSB, B&W, MartinLogan), and they have all fallen short. Still, here's a link to that scandalous review for the sake of the image.

Pro-ject Sigature 10 with olivewood plinth. Gorgeous tonearm also. Sonics match its good looks too.

I have a small collection of silver-faced (1977-80) amps and receivers simply because I like the way they look.
