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.

I wasn't a teenager when I fell in love with a stereo, I was 23. In fact, it wasn't until just two years ago. It was at Aurant in Salt Lake City. They had a small room with Rotel separates and b&w CDM (?) floorstanders. My then fiancee and I had stopped in to just see what the store was, and I sat there completely blown away by what I heard.

Never bought any of that equipment, but that marked the start of my need for a really good hifi system.
