Hey thanks to Arnettpartners and Stereo5 for their replies and information. Actually after my original KLHs, I purchased a brand new pair of AR17 bookshelf speakers and absolutely loved them. Remember those? I'm sorry I meant to write Optonica and not Optimus. My friend had an Optonica cassette deck with auto-reverse back in the early 80s. We thought that was so advanced !! Yes I do remember Bozak but not Rectilinear. Oh and yes I forgot about Sansui. Great feedback. Keep it coming. Thanks.
Legacy audio manufacturers
I'm sure this has been brought up before but does everyone remember some of the older (now legacy) audio component manufacturers? I'm wondering whatever happened to brands such as Nikko, Optimus, Kyocera, Nakamichi, Advent, KLH, AR, etc. My very first official (albeit used) audio system back in the 70s consisted of a monstrous Sherwood receiver, KLH bookshelf speakers and an AR turntable. Thanks.
