1960s Amps and Preamps


What was considered the top hifi setup in the early to mid
1960s?? the top speaker??
My Dad's system was a Garrard turntable (cartridge?), some
model McIntosh preamp and amp with JBL Paragons. Would
that be considered high end in its day?? I have fond memories of big bands, Dave Brubeck, and Mancini's Peter
Gunn on that system.

A JBL Paragon recently brought $43,000 on E-Bay! To add to Alberts list, if you had heard Quads with Ionovac tweeters driven by a Marantz 8B or 9's in triode mode... We really haven't come all that far in 30+ years.
