I think in the 50's Electrohome made really good stuff. I have seen some big tube monoblocks. They go for a lot of money when they show up on ebay, and they look like top drawer stuff. I have seen bizarrre omnidirectional speakers, cylindrical in shape, with the drivers pointing up. I think I read somewhere that Electrohome and Phonola (Canada) were the same thing. Someone here on ak has a "serenade" wooden table radio made by Electrohome in the 40's.

From the 70's, all I have seen are some really wierd flying-saucer shaped stereos with ball-shaped speakers. They look like about the Soundesign/Lloyds quality level. I think it might be a case like Fisher, where things were very good, then hit rock-bottom years later.

Canadian electronics just dont seem to show up here. I have been working on tube electronics since I was a kid, and the Canadian stuff fascinates me because I have never seen inside any of it.
