Before buying, you should be sure that the units match in. _several ways. You want them to look good together, of Course. But you should also be concerned about their sonic characteristics. Some com- ponents will sound better together than others. The HA-4500 and FT- 4000 sound superb together, because Hitachi has carefully designed them that way. And since almost all the internal parts are Hitachi-made, they can be built to our engineers’ exact specifications and checked to ensure that they perform accurately. As for appearance, both models feature the new Hitachi slim-line design, with matching knobs and styling. To get your stereo component system off to the right start, pick a pair from Hitachi-—you can't go wrong. Specifications.
