Not to mention the ‘Enjoyment Source’ control,
which ought to be changed to ‘Enjoyment Sauce’ perhaps...

Yes, but Class A amps don't need to have exposed heat sinks these days. Due to the heat sinks, the amps cannot be carried by conventional way and one would need to lift them by the handles provided on the front and rear panels. Modern Class A amps have concealed heat sinks and they look much elegant and can be moved easily although they are still heavy (25 to 30kg). No handles on the front and rear panels.I don’t mind that at all. I assume it’s a big class A amp and if you want passive cooling (i.e. no noisy fans) lots of heat-sinks on the periphery is the only way to do it. Basic form dictated by function and a nice clean look. I do like class A amps, so I’ve kind of accepted they are big and covered in heat-sinks. I’d take that over fans any day.
and he is "without comprise" according to that brochure/horrorshow.
I know the waters i'm currently in but i have to say it, make me walk the plank if you must. But I think Naim is fugly. Looks like 90s plastic fantastic to me.
****in’ ugly.What does ‘fugly’ mean ?

Once upon a time, I have this power amp in the same silver finish. At that time I thought it's beautiful. Now that it's gone, I think it looks quite hideous. It's big, heavy, difficult to carry and a waste of space, something which I tend to avoid these days.
A visitor who wasn't into hifi once thought it's a high-end microwave oven after seeing it sitting on the floor away from the speakers (it's not connected to the system at that time). True story.

No mention of Wilson speakers yet?
I know they can be amazing but I really struggle with MBL speakers, sorry:
