In the early 80's most major japanese manufacturers began to release midi sized Hi-Fi components that quickly became extremely popular in Japan. These systems had "family names" in Japan, not just model type designation. In the early days these were true separate components with matching design and appealing functions and displays. Among the polpular systems were the ROXY and ESPACE systems built by KENWOOD (between 1982 - 1993). Here are a couple of the finest examples of these wonderfull Hi-Fi components.
