I read that one reason for the high-end European table radios was that typically European homes had less space than an American home, so a high-end table radio in an European home would take the place of the console that would be in an American home.

Most of the German table radios I see in the US at estate sales are simpler smaller models than the large multi-speaker models sold in Europe that you can see on European ebay listings. Many of the residents of the Chicago area where I live were immigrants from Germany, Poland, and other European countries. I sometimes see radios they brought back from trips that weren't sold in the US.

I believe RCA sold a radio in the US that was German-made and resembled the look of a typical German radio.
