Yea I'm not crazy on how it looks a bit too cluttered on the front. I think that matte black or something similar would look a bit better than that stainless siver stuff but other than that.... *droooool*

Wouldn'y be bad lookin' if they'd lose the embossed logo...

The logo is engraved and only "glows" when the amp is on. It has lights at the bottom of the glass.

Oh... in that case I guess you could just leave the amp off... :D

Here's a better shot of the amp and a link to the full story.

Just for you Bruce, the "Intensity of illuminated VAC logo varies with ambient room light level." And for you PM, those knobs look kind of like some of the ones used on Cary pre amps, another top class hifi company.

Daddy will own one, one day. :D

I like my tubes exposed. Screw that behind the glass crap. F1, that 100wpc wouldn't keep you happy for a day and you know it. :)
