If high end audio was $10 and match box sized

You don't have to have a rack full of equipment for good sound. You need a source, an integrated amp, and a pair of loudspeakers. You can spend as little or as much as you want but it doesn't have to take over your house or your life (unless you want it to).

That's terrific, petg60! Full range 1.5" driver! WooHoo!  ;) 

I don't think that there are many of us here who would trade in the fascinating parade of gear that has been in and out of our systems over the years, or especially, all of the joy and knowledge that we experienced along the way. 
I know that I would never trade that for anything. It still gives me a thrill today.

douglas, a little larger than matchbox but you cannot have everything.
Shows that a pleasing sound can be obtained even from a 1,5" driver if the design is correct. I bet someone in Sony had the freedom to make it,  did not sell in volumes, and most likely taken from another project at that time.
I like it.
