People can post a wall of audio .... People can post unobtanium .... but the Macs in the fireplace seems to be my favorite "members system" pic ... still smiling.

200 watt output.. I wonder what kind of batteries it takes

Here are two pieces I’ve been looking for and finally purchased a week ago from a Canuck member near Toronto
Samson D-1500 RTA
Samson D-2500 Equalizer
Came with the midi cables so the two units communicate together. The original owner kept them in mint condition.

My fully refurbished and modded Sansui AU_7700 continues to amaze me and I came to it from a 211 based SET.

I know it's only a 6060, but it just sounds so right. It gets more playing time than my 9090

We are getting some high-end gear at the new local car audio store.
They are getting into home theaters and home audio.
I will finally get the chance to hear some of the speakers you guys talk of.
I'm in an audiophile wilderness here.
I highly doubt there are many vintage guys around.
My wow moment was hearing my first big Altec speakers and vintage tube amps.
I had a pair of JBL ,a pair of k horns and some heresy's at the time.
All of those are gone and the house is full of Altec and Altec inspired diy speakers.

And Kenwood receivers are underrated when compared to Pioneer, Marantz and Sansui.Which I feel is unjustified.

Only one reason for it: "Darlington". Unavaliability of out put Darlington type powerpacks, for most Kenwood heavy receivers. Reason I stayed away from them. (Although I did buy two Kenwood KA-7300's with TA-80W powerpacks bye the way?)
Other then that. Indeed, some of the best sounding and looking 70's receivers or integrates ever are 'Kenwoods'.
But this also means that due to a scary image; the Kenwoods with just discrete outputs are also relatively cheap compared with the other brands you mention

Without any intention to spam: this is def. my personal WOW component. Hence again my Sansui 9090!

Can't help but be reminded of these -- which I had in my cars in high school.

Vintage car audio can make you say "Wow!" occasionally also!
