The 70’s are back

Interesting thread based on the division of Taste . I have in the closet a stellar pair of JBL 4312a’s , mirrored set in the original cartons and a custom ordered set of Sound Anchor stands ( 26” tall ). A Sansui 9090DB, a Marantz 2026, an MXR 15x2 EQ , A pair of Klipsch Heresy II ‘s . I’m currently running a modded pair of Dynakit MK III’s . But Damn It , I got rid of my 8- Track player . I had a Muntz player in the car that played 4 and 8 tracks . But the caveat is that those JBL’s were a near field monitor for the recording studio that went mainline . I’ve paired them with tube and SS pre’s , tube and SS amps and even a Modwright KWI 200 . But I just can’t capture that “ Good Old Days “ feeling . So did my taste change , did lots of newer speakers “ Get it Right “ ? I have thought about recapping/rebuilding/replacing the crossovers . Oh BTW , did you use a book of matches or your pocket comb to jam into the face of your 8 Track player to stop slippage ? And today’s audiophiles had Nakamichi cassettes back then ?  

Thanks nonoise , I’ve looked at Kendrick’s photos , but I’ll have to read the info . My JBL’s have the Ti tweeters . I’m hesitant to mess with the crossovers as the potentiometers are part of the baffle . I’m pretty good with a soldering iron , but need clear direction . Any advise would be appreciated. Regards , Mike.
