My dad passed away in March. For some reason, I was led to look into the HiFi equipment he owned while I was growing up.
In the 80s he owned a Sansui R-5. It looked beautiful, here's a video of it:

I wonder if it was as good as it looked? The wattage didn't seem very high!
Then he moved onto a Sony MHC-3600:

I remember it most for the seemingly space-age remote control which had a 'basic' control layer, that slid down to reveal a tonne of really granular controls! The EQ display was also cool! Not sure how good it was, but as a teenager I loved playing my cds on it - the sound felt 'bigger' than the Sansui. It also had cool speakers with tweeter 'satellites' that could be placed seperately to the woofer enclosure!
