Yes, I'd wondered whether to mention the Satellits: affordable enough on occasion, big but with the compensation of superb sound quality if general listening is a concern at all. No inbuilt BFO, though, until the 1977 Satellit 3000 and the more often met with 1978 3400 Professional, and those are even bigger and heavier than the models that went before. Bits break off the late '70s- early '80s sets very easily - knobs and control levers - tending to reduce the price: my own 3400 is in good general shape except for the BFO control spindle snapped off at its base and missing, together with the knob of course.
