My Elac Carinas need way more than this. Who knew buying bookshelves to save space meant I had to clear out a wall?

Another saved image from years ago.
This lot was for sale on eBay from Las Vegas Nevada, so *they* went to networkable DCi boxes and sold off all of these. Casinos, Pbhh.

I'm not familiar with that amp, the power rating seems dubious like this one I posted in the humor thread.

Yes, I was being facetious.

Yes, I was being facetious.

Couldn’t believe it’s power output, went onto the SBS website and you repeated what they claimed. The post may have been better placed?

Timeless professional looks... Audio Research SP-15 and Reference-75

To all participants in this thread - please write the brand and model of the amplifier, just a picture is not enough!
This is Woo Audio WA23 Luna.

 

[Vladimir Filevski]

Woo Audio WA7 Fireflies - tube headphone amplifier plus DAC, silver or black finish. Original design of the tube protective "cage", other aspects are just OK.

I'm guessing it's a HiFi show display special. Fun in any case.

I think this looks delightful, especially with the optional matching power supply. I'm not a valve amp person generally, or even a headphone person really, but the sonics might tame the sometimes too-exciting treble on my Sony Z1R. Perhaps when my Mojo breaks.

In quarter profile they resemble catamaran sail craft, the floating esthetic. Shore Powered no doubt.

Not an amplifier, but im gonna post anyway. The IGS Audio "Tilt 'n bands" this is so beautifull with the tube VU meters. A PEQ.

 

[DonDish]

Accuphase! Japanese "Sumo"block amp. Macho looks, top SNR. Class A. If I ever where to buy topdollar, this would be it!

Thats some serious office space! About aestetichs, why dont they make VFD´s anymore. Really miss those, they have a certain glow and feel that oled´s dont have.

 

[Frank Dernie]

I like unusual but technically logical designs here are two of my favourites

Classic 16.0 push pul valve integrated and Devialet Original d'Atelier

Yes, it is odd that Audio Research chose to mismatch the colors of the OLEDs in comparison to their VU meters lights (i.e. green vs. blue).
I wonder if they are configurable. In any case, the Audio Research frontplates are gorgeous as always.
