Your First Hi-Fi Hankering?


Everybody remember the first time as a teenager you fell in love with a stereo? The first system that you really wanted badly? What was it? Did you buy it?

Don't laugh, but mine was a 55wpc Harman Kardon Receiver, Klipsch Fortes and a Dennon turntable. I had to settle for a Pioneer SX-650, Technics turntable (Empire Cartridge?) and a pair of crap house brand speakers called ECI.

This was in Scottsdale, AZ in the mid-late 70's. My dream system was at a place called Bill's Sight and Sound at Los Arcos Mall & bought the other stuff at a place called Custom Hi-Fi.

HPM 100! Yup, I thought those were the real dea! I wanted those, an SX-1010 receiver and a Technics SL-1800 table.

I ended up with an H/K 330c instead, a Pioneer PL12DII and a pair of Genesis Model Ones... they were the ones with the green woofer surrounds and the yellow EPI-type tweeter. Does anyone remember those?
