My first exposure to "hi-fi"

In the 50s, my dad purchased a system so that my mother could enjoy her opera and classical music records. It was based around a HK Festival receiver, and I do well remember the copper-clad interior of that component. The rest of it was a Garrard changer and an Altec Lansing co-axial single driver speaker mounted in a cabinet that he bought as a kit and put together himself in our basement. I remember watching him do the build. I now wonder whether that driver was a 604; from memory, it looked like one. The Festival had selectable equalization curves for LPs.
