    Mystery speakers from the 1970s

    Howdy everyone, Ran across these speakers and an Estate pre sale in Austin. I have worked in audio for decades, and have never seen them. There are four, and none has a logo or rear label. I would love to know if anyone can recognize them. And no, they are not Polks as some have already...

    Help with vintage JVC equipment.

    Hello, I just joined this after discovering it trying to find out answers to some problems. Totally new to the obsession (don't think hobby is strong enough) but am eager to learn. Being disabled I have lots of time so I pillage local antique malls, thrift stores etc. And sorry if I'm long...

    Do you really need a preamp?

    Forget for a minute all the obvious reasons for having a preamp (boosting signal strength, noise reduction, switching, etc.): is a preamp must-have sonic component for 2-channel listening? If so, why? I recently auditioned a vintage solid state Japanese Class A/AB dual mono solid state amp...
