That type of console sure was popular when I was a kid.. Philco, RCA, Mac, JBL, Marantz.. ALL had consoles of one type or another Paragon Metregon speakers.. Pure COOL!!!

For aesthetics Grundig was the the Gold standard, from what I’ve seen in the USA.

Telefunken and a few other Eastern European manufactures also had some nice models (including large/huge table top radios).

I’ve seen a few more than decent examples by Zenith and Magnavox (copying MCM design), but doubt that many were produced/sold.

Also recall an Amercian line with Danish Modern cabinetry, but blank out on the name (probably scarce/rare due to the added cost of the cabs).

Once considered buying/gutting one (Telefunken) for a side table, but it was too deep for the small dining area.

Ended up buying a pair of black iron MCM (4) shelf brackets @ the same thrift and put together a slim (8" deep X 5’ wide) unit to hold the bulk of our cook/food books.
