Your vote: Best looking PRE/PRO or RECEIVER in the whole world

[SiliGoose]

Thought these threads might be fun.

Sure performance matters but industrial design plays a role in our selection of equipment (probably a larger role than we'd like to admit).

Rules:

No limitations on what you can pick.
You must have a link to an image.
Only one vote per person.

Here's my choice:



Aragon Stage One
Blue lights are cool.

The amps look very nice too but not as nice as the amp I decided upon.

BTW, anyone who puts the 950 in this thread must also post a picture of their wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend/whatever so we can see just how far your poor asthetic tastes go. (j/k)

I'd have to go with the Hovland pre pro on this one, although that Aragon sure is pretty. By the way, how to you put pictures in these threads?

I think the silver Rotel 1066 is pretty but that Aragon is beautiful as well.

[John Holmes]

Okay, I guess I'll be first to do a receiver!



So smooth!

I always thought the Casablanca was the best looking pre-pro. I admit that Aragon looks tasty. But the Casablanca is a timeless look for sure.

Here is another vote for Theta's CBII... Although I do really like my Krell HTS 7.1...

[David Meek]

It's a toss-up between the Aragon and Conrad Johnson's ART (Anniversary Reference Triode) pre-amp:






David - HTGuide flunky
Our "Theater"
Our DVDs on DVD Tracker

Guys - - -

The Hovland and the C-J are not pre/pros.

Sili:

I've never seen it in "the flesh" but based on the picture you posted, the Aragon seems to be a real looker.

[Clive]

Always did like that Aragan. She's a real looker!!

HEY!! Why buy movie tickets when you can own a Theater?

[GregoriusM]

I gotta say that Aragon is certainly one of the better ones I've seen in my travels. Smooth, clean........ and I love the soft blue lights!

[RedStep]

Aragon Schmaragon :LOL: Love covers a multitude of sin...




(I know its a bad pic, that I stole from another site, but B&K hasn't posted any??? )




RedStep
We are truly a product of the decisions we make

[SiliGoose]

Ah, yes. B&K makes pretty looking equipment. Very nice lines.

Simaudio's MOON Attraction 7.1 looks nice...

For receivers, I like the mean looking Rotel 1065...

Especially useful when setting up and the components are in a closet where the HT screen is not in view.
