But Chord win the "Is it an amp or an air conditioner?" contest. Terrible blingy design that makes literally no sense.

Wow, that is splendid. A whole suite of absurd components. "Phonographic Perambulator no.1" is good.
Not clear if the ballet dancer is included.

Kostas is a really interesting guy to talk to about music and recording techniques, but his designs are batshit crazy and stupidly expensive.

As I hate the vast majority of 70s design, I find all those brushed aluminium look amps / receivers / whatever bloody ugly.
Why the generation after me seems to be obsessed with anything 70s is beyond me, they're all barking They didn't have to live with it of course

For me, the Kef Blades are pug ugly.
In fact, many modern speakers offend my eye.

Someone just needs to dig out one of those links to the forum that has loads of pics from the Munich show(s) - usually plenty of tripe in there.
Kind of feels bad adding to the SME bashing (would wish any UK based business the best of success) but I really do feel like they need to sort their s**t out. This is aesthetically sloppy on so many levels
