The "coolest" looking system?

O.K., this goes along with the best/worst speaker threads as banal. So what? I don't care what the stuff sounds like,if you were just going for looks, what would you put together for a system? What made me think of this is the Shanling CD T 100. This thing looks very cool and is where I might start. Maybe add a Hovland Sapphire, a Hovland HP-100,an Oracle Delphi Mk V, and a pair of Martin Logan Prodigy's with an aniline blue dye finish for speakers(just to keep with the glowing blue Hovland theme). Go nuts!

I do not have the coolest looking system, but I do have, probably the coolest looking and sounding monitor platforms. They are called: Sistrum Mini Monitor Platforms. Soon, they should have a picture of this baby on their website. Picture, if you can, three 25lb. dunce caps, each with one 1 1/2" audio point on the top, facing point up, and three on the bottom, point down. Hard to picture? Wasn't for me. I bought them having never seen or heard them. Won't be long, I'm told before you'll beable to see them first hand.

Warrenh, I think Viggen has the coolest speaker platforms. Most informative too. Take a look at his virtual system. :•)

Hey Gunbei,

How most embarrassing... that pic should be in the
"most shabbiest looking system" thread. Btw, I swapped back to my old driver tubes, and the system is 90% back to normal only lacking some of the warmth I first experienced.

Yah, most of you have no idea what I am talkin about...

You're right. Viggen's is untouchable. I, humbly, stand corrected.

Wilson Watt/Puppy 6's in one of those titanium finishes
Halcro DM38 mono amps
Levinson or Ayre silver pre
Linn CD 12
VPI Aries

Also cool-looking:
Meadowlark Ospreys
Teres turntable
Art Audio amp and pre
EAR chrome and gold phono stage
LFD Mistral CD player

I wouldn't mind hearing either of these systems too. Great looks and I imagine great sound.
