Console radios were the largest and most expensive model available, often occupying prime position in the best room of the house.

The size of radios was determined by the speaker, in turn determining audio quality, particularly bass levels.

Inside this Philips 6603 Radioplayer, the speaker fills more than half the cabinet.
