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.

Though I will never buy one, this looks like a really nice item.  It fits nicely with the mid-century modern trend that the hipsters are into right now.  That a company like this is making a very nice quality piece of furniture that plays music is a good thing.  Way better than the Crosley retro suitcase systems that are all plastic and cheapness, or the bluetooth speakers that sound OK but look like a futuristic droid. 
In recent years I have shifted most of my buying decisions toward heirloom quality products.  Too many products are designed to be in landfill in 10-20 years, which makes me sad.  When I see a piece of furniture like this it makes me feel better than when I visit IKEA.   
My wife would like something like this in our living room.  She doesn't like all the wires involved in multi-component systems.  I agree with her on this point, as living room decor goes.
Anything that brings music and beauty to a room is alright with me.
