I've got two K731's; one was a gift from my grandfather and the other came from a thrift store--the only tube radio I've ever found at a thrift store. Both have a small square electrostatic tweeter and a large, nice-sounding oval fullrange cone speaker, and the tweeters in both are bad. Both radios sound pretty good as is, although understandably a bit lacking in the high end.
