Still make top quality stuff Though it lives in the garage, I still love my 30 yr old K 9600! http://www.fmtunerinfo.com/oldp2-9600rx.gif. |

Yep, When a friend of mine got out of the service in '76, he decided he wasn't going to fool around with buying a cheap stereo and upgrade/ replacing as the time went by so he bit it and spend a crap load of cash. At the time he had a 200w. McIntosh MC2205 amplifier,a Technics Quadraphonic receiver, an Italian made Leesavox turntable,and 4 cone drivers (Ohm"F" models.) if i remember correctly he said those speakers were about $400.00 each in 1973 or 74 ( I can't remember). For the day it seemed beyond fantastic. |

For the day it seemed beyond fantastic. I still have a pair of those big honking Sansui 1970's disco speakers. Everyone keeps trying to say these new book shelf speakers are as good, until I crank them up. I have them out in the Tiki bar now and they are enough to fill the whole pool deck with big old thumping sound. I do try to be sensitive to my neighbors but most of them will be back in Michigan in a couple of weeks anyway. "There's no replacement for displacement" Proven fact Greg. |

"There's no replacement for displacement" I've been looking around for some speaker for my shop, and would like to find a set of those, or something similar. They do pop up at times on craigslist. I have a late 70's Yamaha integrated amp and matching tuner that I'll use to drive them. Having said that, some of those "bookshelf" speaker systems can be *very* nice sounding. The displacement thing goes away when you add a subwoofer to the equation. I'm running a set of NHT speakers as mains in the surround setup in the den. They are small, but Audiophile magazine rated them class C, borderline class B speaker. They sound better than many speakers that are 4 times the size and cost twice as much, or more, and are wife-friendly. A friend with $10k worth of Aragon amps and Magnapans always raves about how great the NHTs are. |

The Kenwood unit I used is this one: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KMR7...U.html?tp=1721 No transport, meaning no CD player. Does only AM/FM and digital sources. Can play from a USB stick, iPOD interface, and Sirius receiver. The face folds down so you can put you iPod, iPhone, or thumbdrive inside. Most of the electronics are in a seperate box mounted out of sight. Cool unit. |
