I was kind of partial to Pioneer's Centrex models. If you're not familiar, they were compact stereo systems with 1/4" thick speaker cabinets, BSR turntables mounted on top of the receiver, which had either a cassette deck or 8-Track player in the same case. It also had RCA plugs on the speaker wires.

Now, THAT was some great stuff.

And YES, I'm kidding.
