Looks like someone's stuck one of their amps on one of those stand-alone induction hobs.If we already have a ‘most horrific industrial design in the history of creation’ thread my apologies,

Dan D'Agostino must be a foodie, because his creations look like high-end kitchen appliances. I don't mind the looks, but now I'm hungry for a panini - damn!To my mind there's really no contest:
There more expensive the amps from this brand, the uglier they get.

Aww but they're sort of cute if you draw big eyelashes on the top "eyes", and big red lips around the horn.

I see koala with big fuzzy ears.If Macs aren't to your taste in amps, maybe a kraken?
Ugliest or Dysfunctional CD players, Turntables, Pre-amps and other gear
as the audio jewelry thread peters out, it seems appropriate to have a thread for the opposite... (no speakers here please; use the ugly speaker threads for those)

Looks like the appliance department at WalMart. Those are some expensive toaster ovens though!

What the h...l is that?
When I saw the thread title I was thinking I was going to have to find a really bad McIntosh product to post, you saved me the pain of looking.If we already have a ‘most horrific industrial design in the history of creation’ thread my apologies,

Aha, look at that. I thought it was some new expensive hifi thing that somehow wash the sound. Had not surprised me if that had been the case. The hi-fi world can be a bit kinky (or is strange a better word?) , to put it mildly.
Looks like a paper shredder.
Yeah, I expect to see some big forehead guy twiddling with the knobs every time I see something of theirs.All McIntosh gear looks like a prop from a low-budget 50s sci-fi movie made from cornflakes boxes and bottle caps painted silver. At least they are consistent! When I first saw a picture of McIntosh gear I honestly thought it was some kind joke mocked up in Photoshop ...

I resemble that remark.
Yeah, me too!! The silver and copper colour really blends in welll with the meter.
