Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ?

Hello

Most of us chose an amp for it's musicality.

But if you would chose your amplifiers for it's visual aesthetic, some great looking amplifiers, metal or wood face plate, which ones you would chose ?

Myself I would chose a Pass Lab amp, for a metal face plate. And the Sonus Faber Musica Integrated Amplifier, for a wood face place.

Thank

Bye

Was it Wavelength Audio that made a poweramp that looked like a V-8 engine (maybe it was even called the V-8)?

Off the top of my head, I'd say that Joule, Pathos, Bel Canto, some of the Cary monos, KR, and Mac are all striking looking devices. Each in a different way.

Nakamichi PA-7 or PA-7II with the rack handles. IMO it just looks real bad a$@. When I look at it I think that it just exudes I will eat any speaker alive.

The Italians do seem to do elegant, simple design, like knowone else. New Audio Frontiers, Pathos, including the inpol on it's way to me now.

Not to much US exposure, but the Korean Emille amps, are just gorgeous to. I am listening to their K40 integrated now. It's going back to the dealer, the Inpol sounds that bit better.

Burmester. Love that Teutonic chrome. And more importantly, Burmester sounds better than it looks (which is awesome).

I rather like Ancient Audio amps for their aesthetics.
