When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers?

1969, Acoustic Research 3As driven by Dynaco ST-70. Was hooked on audio since. 

@jafant I really liked soundscape. I remember demoing some totems there, although I think I bought them from the listening room later.

freshman hs, I think. First time I ditched the afternoon classes and got high with the ‘cool kids’ it was a clock radio and baba o’reilley had just come out and was playing. I’ve been chasing that magic ever since and I gotta say at this point I think smokin weed would be cheaper than all the equipment.

I became hooked on audio during the early seventies at college, smoking pot and listening to friends rigs.  I’m sure many were the big Advents.  Later around 1978 I auditioned a number of speakers at Moe’s Sight and Sound in Casper, Wyoming. Can’t remember what they all were.  I purchased JBL 65s and a McIntosh MA 6100 integrated.  Still using both in a second and third system.  They have traveled with me to Alaska, Dallas, China and back.  What a great ride it has been.

It was 1987, when I listened to and brought my Klipsch forté home.

Cheers,
