@fertguy Where in KC did you buy your system?
While in high school...1st system 1972 at an electronics store called "Henshaws", a place that sold stereo and CB radios, I got a Dual 1218 with a Shure cartridge, Technics receiver and Jensen 3 way speakers with 12" woofers.
In the next 6-8 years, after discovering "David Beatty’s Stereo" my system was comprised of a B&O 2402 tt, Nakamichi 530 receiver, Maggie SMG’s and a very high-end Yamaha cassette deck.
