The Future of HiFI?

I know turntables are becoming cool again, but stereo consoles? I find it hard to believe that something like this could catch on. I think that anything that encourages listening to good music is a positive thing, but I never expected this.

I grew up in the 50's and 60's listening to Magnavoxes (or is it Magnavoxi?). Anyway, nice looking cabinets that my mother adored. Crummy sound but it was better than nothing. And so began my audiophilia....

He obviously wanted to get the full stereo effect of such a fine unit. Now that's what we would call a very narrow sweet spot.
