Call myself Comten as I once worked for Comten and it was probably the best job a young guy with 2 little kids could have, very flexible as to quality of life before it became lip service by today's employers...
Anyway, love of hi-fi goes way back to when we as newlyweds got the only stereo we could afford at the time - a Sears all-in-one - ahead of a TV. Music was too important.
Within a year that was gone and replaced by a Marantz 2240, a pair of ALTEC 891As, and a Dual turntable bought mailorder from the Wash DC free-trade-zone of the mid-70s. Later added a pair of Dynaco A25s.
ALTECs and Dynacos long gone, Dual and Marantz stored away in original boxes awaiting their day again.
Since then, got a Bose Lifestyle 12 that is easy as can be for the wife to operate, and just borrowed my son's Onkyo AVR and his Polk 5.1 plastic-fantastics.
Bitten again by the bug of 70's audio of my youth, have since added a pair of one-owner, consecutively-serial-numbered ADC 303AXs to the set, and so put two of the Polks away.
Now looking for more BOOKSHELF speakers of my yesteryear, the biguns back when speakers were cloaked in veeners and we had BIG BOOKSHELVES the size to hold ADCs, JBL '100s or Larger Advents, and not these wienie little Polks or Orbs or Bose AM3s.
Two weeks ago I rescued a complete Fisher Studio Standard set of H/W from a certain date with a landfill - complete with 4 giant STV-something 3-way bass-reflex speakers large enough to bury a family of chimpanzees in. The Polk plastics and uneeded sub have all been put away now and the Fishers are sounding fine to us in the carpeted gameroom.
Anyway, have the Fisher speakers to learn how to modify on, while restifying the Fisher hardware and keeping my eyes open for a pair of AR4x/4ax or Larger Advents or KLH6s to complement the ADCs.
Thanks all for the time!
