In 1978 I bought a Pioneer rig with SPEC 1 & 4 and HPM-150 speakers. I sold it to my brother in 1984. In 2008 I got those speakers back, re-foamed LFs, paired them with old school Kenwood L-07 monos and pre, added a tube DAC and Squeeze Duet and now have a system for a grand that I am extremely happy with. Vintage sometimes gets a bad rap but my stuff works like a charm.
