Best Looking Receiver of all Time

My vote would be for a Harman Kardon Citation Receiver or a Marantz 2330B. I unfortunately own neither.......so here's a picture of my Sansui 890.

I'll take the look of any of the receivers from the sixties or seventies over the crap today. I currently have a Yamaha CR-1020 and a Marantz 2250. Plan on adding a Sansui and Pioneer.
 
Heath AR-1500A

I am a bit partial to the looks of the seventies receivers. Below is one of my favorites. Clean look and magnificant sound.

For solid state, it's a toss up between the Marantz model 18 and the 2325. But, if you include tube receivers, my favorite receiver is the H.H. Scott 399. That thing is just so cool.
 
Take a picture of it in the dark and you have my vote. I don't think there's ever been a better looking piece of audio equipment, and I'm kicking myself for not buying a fully restored one when I saw it.

I really want to see a picture of one of these in the dark.
 
Lovely thread! The Fishers here are :thmbsp:

The Sansui 990DB (Euro-styled black front) is pretty easy on the eyes too.
But i'm more than a lil biased as i recently brought a local one home!
(First post, btw. Take it easy on a newbie...)
 
Beauty as a concept, . . .

I really like the looks of the my Concept 16.5 and Sansui 5000x.
