Thought I should share an image with its top off, as it looks just as good as it does on the shelf with it on.

How about the good ole Naim Fraim? The best looking audio rack in my opinion.

Slightly off topic. Futurama II Deluxe.

Third one, AV receiver. You’d be surprised how many people use one to connect their CD player, turntable, etc to it. However the criticism was not just about AVR but also about stere amps (integrated or not) by brands like, Onkyo, Sony, Marantz, Harman Kardon, Arcam, Denon, Yamaha and many many more out there.

Even if you look at products from most hifi brands nowadays they are the usual plain rectangular black box with a light or two as their main feature.
