In the 70's I didn't know what high end was or the equipment needed for that level. All of my friends had a system that required an amp, speakers, and some type of media source.
In those days the amp of choice was a receiver since a lot of people listened to FM radio. A few of the brands of the day were Kenwood, Pioneer, Sherwood, and some others. For some reason I went with the Pioneer. My system was.....
Pioneer SX-850 receiver.Pioneer PL-530 turntable (which I still have)Pioneer cassette deck with "metal tape capability". Wow. CD's hadn't taken over then.Soundshaper 110 Mk.2 eq.
Syngergistics S-51 speakers (still have them). A 3 way design with 12"woofer, midrange, and tweeter. They even have 2 adjustable crossover controls built in. Another Wow.
I thought, in those days, my system sounded as good or better than others. Technology has come so far since the 70's. The only people I knew that had what was probably considered high end were the age of my parents. Of course, I didn't hang out with them or have parties at their houses or even care about how good their systems were.
Days of yore.
