If I fit into another category it would be the vintage, mono console one. I just love my Grundig and Braun consoles, both as works of fine furniture AND as beautiful sounding audio reproduction devices. And I can even listen to the shortwave band now and again. Yes, the console is underated, mostly because there are a lot of crappy, "Made in USA" stereo consoles (Zenith, RCA, etc) that are ugly and ugly sounding. My Grundig has great dynamic range, and the tweeters are actually good enough to work with the admittedly boomy base woofer. The latter takes a little getting used to, but there are times (depending on the music) when my console sounds BETTER than my modern stereo. And I read somewhere that John Lennon said "You haven't heard Sgt. Peppers until you've heard it in mono." I like mono.
