Doesn't that depend on the person judging the system?

BTW there are some very good sounding juke boxes (for a juke box) out
there.
All of them with tube amps ;-)


I had an AMI F (1955) and an AMI J (1959) both had GE VRII magnetic
pickups, ported woofers, a decent tweeter, and ultralinear
output. Frankly, a lot better than the competition, which usually
had the woofer (or full range speaker) mounted on a baffle
board like a Fender guitar amp or a cheap EJ Korvette's Xam
console stereo. (to Korvette's credit, they also sold
Harmon-Kardon and Dynaco gear)

IIRC, both of those wound up in Holland, which as I understand it,
is the European mecca for discriminating jukebox collectors.

The main problems with jukeboxes are the same as ever, the source
material (all over the map) and the playback mechanism (back then,
rumbly offspeed 45 turntables, now cheap CD mechs).
