Selling my pair of Quad 57's which I had in use from 1981 to 2000. In the last few years I have bought two pairs of the Quads!

There’s a pair of DeVore Gibbon Super Nine’s for sale here on Agon for $7800. Those would be a major upgrade over the Linton’s. Seller is in Atlanta.

Put it aside and buy a Stanton in better condition.   
How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music?
IMO the best band of the Eighties was the Smiths. Morrissey + Johnny Marr on guitar/arranging. Check out their four recordings before the breakup!

+1 @bdp24 : Danny Gatton was truly a great guitarist - whose life ended so tragically! I recently bought one of his CDs!
