Max, back long long ago when the world was still black & white & I was a kid in 1960 my Dad was flying to Japan from Hawaii fairly often. Since he was the pilot of a cargo plane he could bring home super cheap stereo equipment. Transistors were only for crummy little pocket radios. He brought back a huge stereo system. All tube amp with speakers the size of a washing machine. This was in the era when woofer & tweeter were not yet in the dictionary. Yes really!

He would come home from a mission and crank up the 1812 Overture. That system would make the house rattle all the neighbors knew my dad was back. We were living off base in Pearl City. Non of the neighbors had ever seen or heard of a stereo system like that. All they had was the crummy little mono radios.
