Hi Nog,
Does that happen to be a Hitachi music centre?
The little push draw in the middle would open up to show some small plastic wheels. Cannot remember what they did. Maybe like a small graphic equaliser.
I think you are right with the age. My father had his from 1973 matched with a pair of Celestion Ditton 15XR.

Yes it was an Hitachi.

What a coincidence he also had a pair of Celestion 15XR’s,

He replaced the Hitachi with a Nait 1 and a Rega 3.

House to myself at the moment so the Guru’s on bombastic duties with Anathema’s Weather Systems soaring from the Ifi Stream and MX-Dac.

Following on from some rather more sedate Rodrigo, via the CDx2.2.

Today I was at my local dealer to check out his new store. We listened to Dali speakers using a Macintosh Pre and power amp. The source was a Hifi Rose streamer. I had never heard any of these before, I came away quite impressed. The speakers are around 6k Canadian, and have dual tweeters, ribbon and a dome together, quite unique.

Those are the Opticon range from Dali. I have the wall mounted Opticon LCR Mk2 with that dual tweeter in an ATMOS set up. I had always sort of looked askance at Dali before but they produce a very smooth top end. The dome is basically standard tweeter response and the ribbon is basically a semi super-tweeter.

Years ago (2015), I heard Dali Rubicons with Rega Elicit-R amp at the Bristol Show. Thought it was one of the best things in the show and it was commented on in reviews afterwards.

Sonus Faber - lovely. You don’t see too many photos of them on this forum. They produce many fantastic speakers. I “only” have the Olympica Nova 2 my self. But I can imagine what a lovely system you would have. Congrats to that!
