'Beauty being in the eye of the beholder', have always thought that ARC needs a different industrial designer for their singularly ugly integrated amps. Unfortunately, the I/50 follows in that tradition, though it does use a nice tubeset. The aluminum 'shelf' that goes around the chassis reminds one of the silly aluminum 'cup holder' on top of McIntosh's MA12000 and MC901.
