I do see the point. Modern interior design might well make this fit in well. I probably shouldn't have said 'beauty' on reflection, maybe asking about good design instead. Not the same at all. In which case most of the above i kind of get.
B&O must come closest. At least there is an undeniable elegance there I think. I see the quads too, esp the control amps (if orange and gold are even allowed
) but the Radford?? I mean I do like it, but there can have no thought to aesthetics at all...I mean, none whatsoever, and if there was, the guys design experience must have been drawing up the Lada...in fact a Lada beat the Radford in the good design stakes 50X.
