How about a thread to showcase some of the most beautiful audio equipment made?

My first speakers - beautiful only to me at the time!

Ah, the ReVox B710 was quite a machine. A friend once said the ultimate cassette deck would use a 4-motor mech from the B710 and auto head azimuth alignment from Nakamichi.

The later B215 just wasn't as pretty!

Cheers!

The current version, while still quite retro, is very attractive.

Makes me wonder if the big Klipsch speakers are the longest running production speaker of all time.  The JBL 4430 were in production from ‘81 to ‘99, but the Klipsch are from the ‘70s and still being made.

The Klipschorns are from 1946 approaching 75 years old!

Wow.   I was just guessing as the 70s were when I first heard them.  Thanks.

My fathers Sansui SP-100 speakers which became my first speakers in high school..

When speakers had tweeters, squawkers and woofers!

Adding the 3B SST to the gallery.  Simply, beautiful. The way in which the minimalist silver dress panel contrasts the black heat sinks and top plate make this a beautiful amp to look at.

I love the Clear-Natural-Soft adjustment on the back!   What does that mean?

JBL plays it safe...

CLEAR = Nuanced subtlety
NATURAL = Holographic soundstage 
SOFT =  Warm tube like 

In reality I couldn't hear any difference!
