a pair of small utah's (I still got em!)from Turnstyle Department store and then ANOTHER pair of BIG Utahs from Radical Shack (before I really understood frequency response but sure had fun learning!) then to what I still have from 30 years ago: Stacked EPI 202's. My sales guy Billy Runyun at Stereo Studio in Arlington Heights, Il sold me on the idea that 202's stacked in pairs come reasonably close to sounding like EPI Towers. Well, it's true from the vantage point of these two aging but at one time mercilessly discerning ears of mine. I'll tell you what tho, the 202's are still exellent. My favorite song to put on LOUD is "Natural Thing" from the Doob's "Captain and Me" album. Rock on!
