The whole generation of 7 & 8 tube Zeniths from the mid 50's through about 1967 are indeed, use Paula's word, 'wonderful', very ballanced and musical in their audio. Sad to say it was the end of the famous Zenith tube radio with point to point wiring, but this method did continue for a few more years in TV's....good habbits sometimes die hard!
I just found a 1955 Y832 for $10.50 and was rather amazed at the excellent sound quality coming from the 8 inch speaker, plus the two 2 5/8 inch square electrostatics.
To get better sound, one would have to move up to a KLH model eight from 1960-64
