European (French, Italian, Dutch) radios were indeed a bit (ok, a bit more than just "a bit") more elegant than the American radios were.
Which does not make me like them any better. French Excelsior, for instance, was the epitom of elegance, but the materials used did not help it sound very well.
Then again, my taste is quite simplistic: I choose my furniture by the quality of build and the materials vs sheer elegance; so my interior at home is a bit boxy and heavy-set.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
