5) Fisher receiver - yes, I can hear you laughing - still own
6) Emerson receiver - OK, OK, have your fun(8 track & cassette) - still own
7) Panasonic 1976 receiver(yes, with the cassette player) - still own, it sits in its original box

9) NAD 2600A power amp - still own

* Denotes Items I still own.

Note: Yes, I do realize that I bought and sold identicle items a couple of times. As prices dropped, items became better values and I re-purchased an identicle item only to find out why I sold it in the first place!!!

The B&K receiver dropped from $2850 list to $1850 and I bought it. I returned it to the dealer because it was too complicated to set up. I have since determined that all HT receivers are a pain. I just found a brand new in box B&K AVR 202 for $999. So, at about 1/3 the original price, it was a bargain I could not pass up.

I originally bought the Monarchy SM-70 pair and ran them unbalanced. I committed to sell them, then tried them in balanced mode. VERY NICE. So, when I found a good deal on another pair, I bought them.

Enjoy,
