Personal speaker evolution

Polk bookshelf (I can't remember the model #)1982-92

This is a lot of fun thinking back

1985 EPI T/E 100. $200 new. 2-way sealed. I was 15, saved all year for these along with a Yamaha R-3 receiver, and hooked to Technics turntable. Ah the joy.

1993 Klipsch Forte, $800 used. Still have them. They rock. Also purchased a Adcom 555 amp and preamp that year.

2007 Totem Arro $800 used. Still using the venerable Adcom amps. I also had to purchase my 2nd CD player ever, a Cambridge 640C. My original one from 1988 was a Denon 1500. Started having tracking problems 19 years later.
