Early 80's - late 70's best audio products


With the intoduction of CD in 1982, apparently, the Hi-end audio equipment either dissapearead, either became too expensive, either started to use cheaper components, etc.

This is my perspective. And now as a historical curiosity - Which components (speakers, pre-amplifiers, amplifiers, tuners, turntable, tonearm and cartridge) will you vote as the best components for the 1978-1982 period.

Thank you for your time

Amen!

I emailed him with some questions about the speakersand he was nice enough to reply. Mr Bau is in Santa Fe, still in the electronics business but his focus is stuff for recording studios ect.

I don't know what they did to him when Spica was bought by Parasound but he has made it very clear that he has no interest to be in the speaker biz again, ever.

Parasound to the best of my knowledge never came out with a Bau designed speaker.

What a waste.

BTW I have two pairs of Spicas TC60's and a much older pair of SC501's that fit the bill as one of the best bargains from the era.
