Agreed - butt ugly.If I liked the sound it would not stop me from buying it.
I am considering Benchmark - and they make even butt uglier amplifiers.
That said if it comes down to 2-3 amps of very similar sound - I would go with the best looking one.
On the flip side there is a lot of ugly gear at far higher price points than Marantz - so it could be worse.I am trying to think of gear I like the looks of - I think I would lean to Luxman as a nice blend of classic looks and elegance. And METERS!
