Any of you own a classic Modern Stereo Console?

Yes, I know they are far from high-end audio sound, but there are many "cool" looking console stereos from the "Eames Era"...

It would be fun to see what you might own and if anyone has gutted one and put good modern electronics in one.

This is a link to some of the old advertising for console stereos.  Did KLH make a console?....I know they made very good compact systems

Must admit……do not get any of this.  So you want speakers firing at my knees?  And the drivers suffering suffocating boxitis?  They sound seriously confined.  Only commenting on sound reproduction, not the desire to live retro cool mid-century.

l’m a boomer, so I already suffered through the Zenith console TV in the center built-in dreck.  But, by all means charge forward if it’s your thang.

whatjd +1, perhaps +10.  Great print ads.  And how did those of that era figure out how NOT to have a nuclear winter.  Professional dog trainers have it right, "leave it, come".
