Everyone competed for your business. Wonderful receivers and electronics. Turntables were very good.There were many good speakers.

All can be picked up today for a good price on ebay and they still sound good. I have a modified Dynaco(new opamps and new capacitors, a van Alstine tube preamp and a belles amp. The one tging I recentlt bought were Andrew Jones spekers. He made inexpensive Panasonics and now he is with Elac. He is one of the best speaker manufacturers today.

I gave my son my B&W speakers.
