Bet it sounds great though.

Boy, I'll say that system must run your electric bill sky-high! I never saw that many tubes in a console stereo in my life, although I have seen color TV sets with 20-30 tubes (I had one in the early '70s, a 1964 Silvertone 19" roundie table model; it had perhaps 20 tubes in it).
Your set must sound excellent, and with power to spare. I wouldn't turn it up full-blast if I were you, though, unless you want to blow the roof off your house or worse.
With each channel bi-amplified, that entire system must be a floor-shaker, even at mid-volume. Seems to me it could shake your floors even with the volume controls barely set above minimum.
The set must weigh a ton as well. How did you get it home after you bought it? For that matter, where did you put it after you got it home? That stereo looks like the kind of set that requires about five feet of floor space, minimum.
