Your First System
Space ship helmet 8 track player. I removed the speakers and added my own that I had gotten from a local junk yard. I had about 6 speakers running of this thing.I was about 12 years old. 
Which of These Budget SS Preamps?

Anyone tried Magnepan 1.6's with rock music?

MMG or Vandersteen

crossover question
Oh boy am I modifying them. When I am done I will post a pic.You won't recognise that they are Vandersteens.I believe that the 8" driver is not OEM. And I don't want to pay Mr Vandersteens prices. I would rather buy a stock Vifa driver and save 50...

How about a pair of Vandersteens ?
