The Future of HiFI?

I know turntables are becoming cool again, but stereo consoles? I find it hard to believe that something like this could catch on. I think that anything that encourages listening to good music is a positive thing, but I never expected this.

A stylish, well built piece of furniture that sounds better than a Bose radio will attract buyers.

I grew up in the 50's and 60's listening to Magnavoxes (or is it Magnavoxi?). Anyway, nice looking cabinets that my mother adored. Crummy sound but it was better than nothing. And so began my audiophilia....
