It's a subjective look that's for sure. At $44,000 a pair it's a bit steep. I do love the watch movement-like jeweled meter with the bridge. The meter would be a pretty penny itself.
Are you kidding? Have you ever seen his earlier amps? ugly! And I owned 4 of them. Heaven forbid you fell onto one the large hideous heat sinks would slice and dice you to death. But these new amps if you ask me look like fancy produce crispers you find at the bottom a expensive refrigerators. I think the meter on this model actually says "Less Humid--More Humid"
Oh lord the produce crisper. I liked the Krell FPB series of amps. They would probably be seen as ugly by many, but they had neat-shaped sinks and were cruel and industrial looking. And the MRA is just badass.

Wow what Krell is that with no heat sinks Judging by the handles and the on off switch and no light indicator must be very early 80's? The Krells from mid 80's on had enormous heat fins so dastardly and sharp that it was reported small children running near the amps would often fall accidentally into the enormous fins never to be seen again. Not only were they sliced and diced by the sharp protruding dispersers of heat but they also vaporized on contact. I think I lost a few cats that way, and maybe one girlfriend. I never did buy the stories that either one of them ran off.
I used to have an old Sansui receiver that had a "magic eye" tube that was used as a tuning meter for the radio. I can't find a picture online
of the version I had, but looking on youtube I see that some people have taken the tube and done some cool things.
