I've said before, if money was no object I'd probably have an aircraft hanger-sized space full of vintage Japanese hi-fi, purely for the aesthetics.
Stuff like this...
And I've always lusted after a combo like this. I'm a sucker for knobs and needles.
or even...

Over engineering and crafrsmanship. This photo doesn't do justice to the size. They have 18" woofers.

I also love the aesthetics of the Klipsch Belle also. There are horn upgrades from VTrack or Volta for the speakers, but the cabinets are timeless in their looks.

I have no idea what table its going on yet. Or what the plinth for it will look like. But I am willing to save money and bide my time, as the Well Tempered Reference and the Sota Cosmos can keep me busy for quite awhile.
