Yes, I worked at a record store/hi-fi dealer for a year after college, and they sold KLH systems like the one here up front and the serious, component stereo at the rear of the shop.
I remember debating with myself about the all-in-one approach vs. component, since we were selling component systems for less than the Model 20, and that included KLH Seventeen or EV two-way speakers.
Components won, and I was hooked for life.

Bill,
Me, too! I liked the Model 20; but I was already a hobbyist, and it really wasn't the right direction for me. It was a nice music playing appliance; not a hobby friendly thing.
But the literature I got included a review that explained how the Model 20 was greater than the sum of it's parts; because it was "systems engineered". That was an epiphany for me, and got me started on a very long odyssey that continues today, as I keep trying to build the "Super Model 20".

I have seen at least 4 of them at thrift stores, but I let them be. It is a nice concept, but wouldn't come near what I was running when I saw them. Better to leave them for someone who would enjoy them.
I know what you mean, Jerry, about a "Super Model 20". You are preaching to the choir when you talk to me about matching components!

Jerry,
I hope you succeed in building the Super Model 20. Just stay away from Bubinga wood, as it seems to add cost and weight. Actually, I have four blocks of it at home that I use as bookends for CDs.
