Men of Hi-Fi

Harry Maynard hosts this "discussion-demonstration" radio show featuring the "latest developments in the field of sound with the experts." Maynard was a journalist who wrote about high fidelity audio for FM Magazine and HiFi/Stereo Review Magazine (now known as Sound and Vision Magazine), which each served as underwriters for The Men of Hi-Fi. The program began in the late 1960s ran until the late 1970s. Later, the show features theme music composed by John Keating.
