The Future of HiFI?

  My mother's boyfriend somewhere around 1967 would literally lie down on the floor of the living room with his head midway between the speakers of the Magnavox console. He obviously wanted to get the full stereo effect of such a fine unit. Now that's what we would call a very narrow sweet spot. 

Anybody that is into mid-century-modern should own one of these.
But please don't play any Perry Como or Mitch Miller.

I'd take it a step further and build the components right into the wall ala Hugh Hefner!

I've always liked the looks of those. Here's some more:

They're all really nice.

All the best,

I remember my cousin (who was an adult then) telling me how the "Highs come out over here, and the lows over there" from his console when mansplaining stereo to me as a teenager. Back in 1966.   I have no fond memories of consoles. they were a gimmick, and still are.
