Above the 4-channel Meter Bridge is the KLH Model Eight Vacuum Tube Mono FM-only receiver (1960).  With its acoustic suspension speaker, it was the precurser to the Auratone and served the purposed of simulating consumer systems.  Because it was mono, it was augmented by the Model Thirteen (1961), a solid-state FM-stereo multiplex adapter and speaker).  At far left of the studio photo, you can see the right edge of the left KLH speaker and to the right (next to george's head) you can can see the right KLH speaker.
