Intending to reach anyone here with some product or industrial design chops but anyone with an input is welcome. I spent the day looking at all of the components I want to fit into an audio amplifier. It is somewhere around the size of a typical router. My ideas thus far are ehh at best. I just abstracted the realization that this is an issue common to most electronics products, so who does it best or what ideas do you like most for shapes and design?

I’m not sure I’m understanding you exactly, but Fosi puts some real oomph and decent pop, into a very small package.
Like what rectangular prism is the best? It really depends on what for. Sometimes wide and flat is better, sometimes tall and narrow is okay. Maybe a cube is nice.
I think you were cheating and watching my CAD designs today – felt very finger paint shabby chic
There must be some rules of thumb, or name for styles, reputable designers to follow, or something.

If you’re thinking amplifier, just grab your favourite Japanese '70s hi-fi range and go from there. Can hardly go wrong.
A half-scale Harman/Kardon 330c but with an OLED info display in the panel that held a tuning scale might kill it.
The key is to use the right materials. They sold a modern CD-based stereo a few years ago that apes the look of a small Marantz 22xx, but being plastic garbage, sort of fails the mission. Conversely, Yamaha did some new silver-face amps that don’t look like dollar-store tat.
