I became hooked on audio during the early seventies at college, smoking pot and listening to friends rigs. I’m sure many were the big Advents. Later around 1978 I auditioned a number of speakers at Moe’s Sight and Sound in Casper, Wyoming. Can’t remember what they all were. I purchased JBL 65s and a McIntosh MA 6100 integrated. Still using both in a second and third system. They have traveled with me to Alaska, Dallas, China and back. What a great ride it has been.
When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers?
For me it was 1977 at Purchase Radio in Buffalo NY. My brother and I were putting together a system that we would share at our parents house. The song was Aja by Steely Dan on a pair of Altec 19's that blew my mind at the time, I'll never forget it. They were a little out of our price range at the time. The system ended up being a Sherwood receiver, KLH speakers, a Technics SL-1950 and a cassette deck that I can't remember the make. Great memory!
