My new KLH 21

This is the radio I traded those TV's for. Sounds okay, but it has at least one bulging cap on the main board. Also has the original filter cap from 1966. Once you add any bass at all, the sound turns to mush.

Something must be really wrong with my set, because as much praise I've heard about these, I'd expect something a lot better than what I'm getting. My solid state 1968 RCA with a flaky audio output transistor just whipped the KLH in terms of sound quality. A song I know came on, and I took the opportunity to test the KLH's sound quality, and I was quite dissapointed. And also the bass control just crapped all over the place. Full bass, (which sounds like mushy garbage) or no bass. (Which also sounds like garbage.)
