In your searching, did you find anything new that was created to give a "Vintage" look? Like an old console radio unit, etc.

Hi there Beta Man!! LOVE your equipment!! And I'm sorry but I really wasn't looking for anything vintage (because I'm not into "Vintage"). However, I did see an interesting radio which is shaped like one of those medicinal capsules that one takes (it is called the "Gélule" which in French means capsule). The right side is clear and shows radio frequencies and time and the left side comes in a variety of colors (your choice) which is not only the omni-directional speaker but you can twist it to raise or lower the volume. [http://www.hardwaresphere.com/2008/0...-clock-radio/] Very strange wouldn't you agree but it does amaze me about what people think of in this very high tech age we live in. The same company is also working on an electronic post-it. See the video here: http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/10/2...gital-post-it/

First link doesn't work for me.......

It's no so much 'vintage' I'm looking for.... it's just tough finding something that doesn't contrast with the older details of our home..... that's why we are using the addition (which was a master-suite) as a living room.... We don't think a T.V. in the living room will "Work"

I like this sub from Elemental Designs. I visited their shop last year and this thing is pretty sweet.
