Best audio time b4 even hearing of the sweet spot?

So many audio memories. Decades ago, before even learning of the so called 'sweet spot', we've all got a story to tell regarding experiences surrounding audio.

Mine would have to be the days of old pushin' some serious air through 4 Pioneer speakers via the latest Quadrophonic receiver Sansui had for sale. Yes juniors, before there was multichannel SACD, or even CD, we got down to the sound with the best of them.

Agana Guam, courtesy of the US of N we're pullin' 6 months barracks livin' while our ship undergoes dry dock restoration. 4 bunks to a cubicle and many times 2 sound systems per cubicle. You name it, Pioneer, Sansui, we had it...mated to the latest Panasonic auto changer. Kegs all around w/ 70's sound. Those were the days.

Apartment life 1976, no worries, no sexual diseases to speak of, party all the time.
2 pairs of Rectilinear 3's, one in the dining room, one in the living room. Actually it was one contiguous room. Hooked to a Marantz 2270 receiver, fed by a Technics turntable. Thin, probably 16 or 18 gauge speaker wire. It all sounded better than anything I can put together today.
Ahh...good times.
