If you were lucky enough to be into HiFi in 1962 your "all out assault" system would look something like this (aside from the power conditioner and transporter).

I prefer the sound of vintage gear and found this combination to be just right. I didn't really plan it that way but it's just the way it worked out. This is an example of what a system from the "golden age of HiFi" can look and sound like. Check it out and let me know what you think.
