KLH invented the high-quality compact music system back around 1970 or so; these are long gone, but were marvelous little systems made at a time when "compact" meant "GE low-quality record player", and large components were the only way to get quality. Later, they made the "KLH table radio" - a high quality, very small, cheap mono receiver. As for AR, if I remember right, they introduced the first acoustic suspension speakers, at a time when "quality speaker" meant huge and expensive. That you can describe HLK's stuff today, in retrospect, as "simple" is a monument to the degree to which his ideas have since become accepted practice. -- Jerry
