That Thorens Prestige has had my tongue out on a few occasions... I've seen a couple on ebay over the years too. I'd take it over their current effort any day.
Also, don't miss the fact that the rear wall is a horn too!
Trust me - I have heard a few very large made from wood horn systems. That system will sound so far removed from an ML set up you would NOT believe it. And what is with the Levinsons? That's usually a crime to a horn system owner

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, hmmm?
Gee, I didn't realize that the model Marxist society in Vietnam was so astoundingly successful. If that is the "standard issue" stereo sound system in the model Marxist society, then I'm turning in my Social Security card today, and moving to the "Pearl of the Orient"...

Forty years ago, this guy would have found himself standing before the barrels of a Revolutionary firing squad...
In memory of the recently departed Paul Harvey, I'd like to present "the rest of the story":
"Poverty here is not only poverty in economic income," Hung, a professor of economics in Ho Chi Minh City, tells AsiaNews, "but also 'bad morality' in living, the 'su bat luong' of parents who sell their young daughters for sexual commercial employment, trafficking their children, marrying off their daughters to rich or middle-class people abroad for money.

Laborers earn between $10 and $20 a month if they work steadily, but many work only when they find a day's job and eke out less. What officials cannot admit, for the sake of appearance, is that a "gray" economy, totally out of official circuits, is the engine that drives Ho Chi Minh City.

Official reports state that the average per capita income of Vietnamese increased from 182 US dollars to 350 US dollars between 1992 and 1997.

Despite being widely touted as Asia's next 'economic tiger', Vietnam is still among the poorest nations in the world. A World Bank report on poverty, released this spring, pegs the average annual income at less than US$240 per person, and a government report released in May estimates that 22% of households are poor and hungry. As the world's third largest exporter of rice, Vietnam calculates 'poor' as families unable to purchase 13 kg of rice per person each month, and 'hungry' as less than 8 kg.

"The rich are getting richer, and the rest of us are struggling to make ends meet," said Dao Quang Hung, a Hanoi taxi driver. "The money they spend on a Louis Vuitton bag could buy several cows for a farmer's family and lift them out of poverty."
