In Reply to: Vintage Zenith allegro "Wedge" Question posted by haute on February 5, 2006 at 22:37:59:
the zenith wedge was the best of the last american made zenith
stereo ever built.Marketed in 1978 the wedge had pros and cons .
It was designed to compete with high end japanese competetor
stereo designer models by using high efficiency speaker design
along with its 15 watt per channel power output.It was in fact
a power house unit compared to most integrated stereo systems
of its kind however it was still lacking sufficient power output
to most peoples desire and it incorporated 8 track tape instead of
using a dolby cassette deck.I believe that these two flaws are
what kept the wedge from becoming an all time classic
