My little contribution:
Gallo Reference 3.1 speakers - The only problem is....they're the best speakers I have ever heard
I thought they looked pretty good.
They start to grow on me too....(you don't want to see them with the grilles on, though)....My girlfriend sees that completely differently however, but perhaps they're tiny enough to get away with it, and love conquers everything, right?.

I dread to think what the other socket might be used for.

True.
Or this thread perhaps belongs in a Distributed Audio room where there are some fuggly tower PCs roaming around masquerading as a hifi.

Now since you've mentioned a Unison Research amp, thir SR1 was pretty odd looking to say the least.
Performance wise, it was better than my Primare 30.1A.
I think it's a sexy beast, but then again I'm a little biased towards UR.
