Hello, "I'm new here" ....
I was amazed to find this "place", and more amazed their are "Pioneer Guy's" (I was once) out there. That being said I'll start by saying that I was a HUGE Audiophile back in the 1970's.
When it was all said and done, I lined 5 JA-R2S Racks with equipment, I supported the floor (in my house) with "basement jacks" as the shear weight of the thing started to warp the floor ! The system was comprised of 8 Altec Lansing Model 19 Speakers, with 4 more HPM-150's as "Satellites". Later for "Sub's" I bought 2 Peavey FH-2's with 18" Black Widows !! .. "crazy". *** I suffer with "the ringing" still too this day *** "lol".
"Told you I had it bad" !!!
I LOVED the "SPEC Series" and back in that time I'd "smoke" any (and all) whom dare made challenge ... AGAIN: "I had it bad" ! Now, "much older and wiser" I can't really stand loud music much !
I think it's GREAT that their are / were other "me's" out there, ... and I'll enjoy reading thread after thread HERE !
Most People I've run into long ago parted ways with their equipment ... ME ? I still come across some once in awhile (or see something). In the end you do it for YOU. It was a GREAT Ride
for me personally and one I'd do all over again were I given the choice. Back then, their WAS a difference in "brand Wars" ! Sui, Marantz, Phase Linier, Sony, JBL, ... "I even remember "project one" equipment ! "lol" ...
Anyway, It's great to be so entertained, and I'll look forward to reading even more here.
Thanks for reading from an "old geezer" ... "all those years ago".
