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!

Stereo Shoppe (I know, I know) in Ann Arbor, long since defunct.  B&W 801's, no idea if series I or II.  Before that a taster with the large DCM Timeframes.
The classic B&W 801's (no idea if S1, S2, or S3) in an audio store (The Stereo Shoppe, Ann Arbor).
