Something tells me that if they had the "look" of a Krell, Mark Levinson, Aragon, EAD, Parasound's Halo etc.. defending its current look would be difficult. Good design (exterior) doesn't have to be expensive.

Now that's funny. It looks like your examples may prove that good design IS expensive. Starting in the thousands. I will admit though, that Halo equipment does look good! So, what's CHEAP and looks good according to all you design experts?
