The bottom line for me is the sound. I've had Audiolab amps that I loved the sound of but hated the look of. Do I like the look of my current (Quad) monolithic speakers? Well no but they have to look like that to sound that good so it's not a problem!
I'd never buy hifi based on the looks but obviously pretty boxes are a bonus. I liked the Copland gear I had. Clean, clever and functional design - and they sounded bloody good too.
I don't mind the look of the Quad amps and CD players so much but since their sound never appealed to me it wasn't an issue. If I liked the sound I could certainly live with them.

Atari Jaguar! Now there's a blast from the past. I remember wanting one but I was about 14 when they came out so I didn't have the 'punts' for one!
I did splash out on a Sega Dreamcast after though, plus the usual XBOX, XBox360, PS3 bla bla bla, never play them mind you.
Anyway, I'm getting off topic of the off topic here!
We could do a poll to rate gear from 'Stunner to Fugly' or somehting like that either! :)
