Hell, there's even more magnet on them.
So I take it, then, that you don't like Magnavox, circa
1960s. LOL
Indeed. Maybe you had to be there...
I was.
The brown-box goods of the 60s were pretty horriffic.
For the most part. I do remember a friend of the family
bought a
Fisher stereo console in 1969 that was pretty impressive,
relatively
speaking. It had a Dual turntable with a magnetic pickup,
a
respectable AM/FM tuner, built-in pair of air suspension
speakers
(might have been AR?), maybe 20 watts/channel. It actually
sounded
pretty good compared to the run-of-the mill stuff back
then. Of
course, I doubt in the intervening 15 years, that they
ever replaced
the "needle" in that Dual...
That is all fine and good, but this is hardly your typical
brown-box goods of the 60s. It might not have even been a
Fisher product per se, but rather a bunch of
really-pretty-good audio components of the era assembled
into a piece of furniture by a local reseller. The tip-off
would be the AR speakers - Fisher had their own line of
speakers and they would have been used in a 100% Fisher
system.
This was all basically a Fisher product. Perhaps the speakers were Fisher.
I wasn't arguing with you. This was a better than average system.
