JBL Paragon Integrated Stereo Loudspeaker, without a question. JBL has always been stylish in most of its designs, but this late '60's speaker is without question the most stylish loudspeaker ever mass produced.
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

jacksky The Conrad Johnson ART Pre-amp, was far from "eye candy". In it's day it was considered SOTA....state of the art. But I do agree that sometimes looks seem to be more the objective than sonic merits. But the same can be said for automobile design for decades. Like when Ferrari was making the original GTO and Porsche had their 356 and Detroit was trying to make barges that ate gas and could barely be stopped without brake fade....but they did have fins that looked like sci-fi movie space ships. |
