Good find Devon. Michael Elliott was the guy I was thinking about...not sure if he is still around. Their stuff still is pretty pricey if you can find it. These are the speakers. I have the JSE 2's. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...IQFnoECB4QAQ&usg=AOvVaw39Z_Duc7XCSiLM2H17Y1Bt
Wish I wouldn’t have looked at this! I tossed my old Sansui receiver a few years ago. It was a good one. I bought it when I was in about 7th grade from the richest kid in town, he had to get a new one you know. Congrats to all who saved their cool setups! I do still have a couple of 8-track players and some vinyl.
Good day to melt some paint! This stuff is like porn to us audiophiles! I used to have a boatload of 8 tracks and some quad ones.
Yeah quad kinda died on the vine it was a cool concept but it did take 4 speakers and good ones were not cheap. I almost bought that Marantz Quad receiver it was almost 400$ and I didn't like the colored lights, I bought the standard one
Got my Denon PMA 770 from 1982 along with a pair of Klipsch Chorus 1’s my Nakamichi tape deck died and vinyl stored after the wife killed two needles on the turntable while dusting.
The title cut off this album sounds great loud. There’s a moody, bass funky guitar interlude at about 3:00 in that just sails. Especially LOUD. What’re y’all listening to tonight? Patrick John! This album probably repels penguins! It works on spouses, cats and dogs! It has a 13 minute metal poem that paraphrases (with the same meter!) Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s ‘Rime of the Ancient Mariner’. Thirteen minutes of metal poetry!
My dad was a huge audiophile, and was a DJ at a disco/bar my uncle owned. He had an amazing collection of vinyl. This is all I've got left, I've had some pretty cool old stuff. I'm not sure how vintage my 90s Pioneer stuff is, but I got these Advents from my pops. House I'm in has some real vintage stuff built in, the speakers are hidden throughout the house inside the walls except this one outside on the patio. Original owners must have loved to entertain....luckily we still get AM stations here so I can use it.
Advents are great speakers. The best bang for the buck out there ( at least in the 70' & 80's). I still have a pair of large Advent Utilities.
Had Cerwin Vega's with, if memory serves, 15" woofers & a Kenwood KR 720 receiver in the early 80s. They would absolutely thunder - the base line on Can You See the Real Me?, dude .... receiver still functions but the CVs are as dead and gone as Entwhistle.
Wow. Lovely stuff!!!! You'd feel right at home at Northern Audio, not far from me...was just there a few days ago to drool around a bit. https://northerntv.net/ Devon
My first wife used to sell high end audio at Circuit City. She used Crazy Train to demo equipment for the stereo separation at the beginning. I wonder if she still has the audiophile level set up she got through the divorce? Since then I've purchased all of my audio equipment second hand, mostly through Goodwill and ebay. I've got some great deals on eBay on stuff too expensive to ship that was "local". My garage system is a circa 1977 Onkyo receiver playing through a pair of 3 way Techniques floor speakers. My house system is a Yamaha 5.1 channel receiver playing through a set of Onkyo bookshelf speakers and powered sub. Good enough for me
