The 1971 HMV 8 + 8 is one of Australia’s most iconic tabletop stereo systems from the early 1970s, combining compact design with surprisingly powerful sound performance.
Produced during a period where HMV was leading Australian home audio manufacturing, the 8 + 8 became known for delivering genuine hi fi sound in a sleek, space saving format that suited the changing modern interiors of the era.
Unlike the large floor radiograms of the 1960s, the 8 + 8 was designed as a stylish tabletop system without compromising on sound quality.
This particular example has been fully restored and presents in immaculate condition throughout. Featuring a Garrard stacking turntable fitted with a brand new cartridge and needle, the system delivers the rich, full vintage sound these models became so well regarded for.
With its beautifully finished cabinetry and unmistakable early 70s styling, the HMV 8 + 8 remains one of the most desirable Australian made compact stereo systems of its time.
