Which I bought new in ~1975 at the age of 17. The swivel stands were GREAT! as they had mid-tweets arranged in a horizontal line, the response would change when 'rotating.' I rotated those speaks for years.. for every different listening position. It was a fun and interesting aspect of the system. Sill have them in the lower level waiting for a restoration. Last audition revealed muddled and distorted bass output. -Gregory

LOL, I remember those round plastic speakers! Don't remember how they sounded but they are kinda cool.
My first "good" speakers were Bose 901's with a Pioneer 1010 from our SE Asia PX 1974 or 1975. Rock and roll! Looking back that must have been ear bleeding. |

Sansui SP3000
These were my first decent speakers. I bought these in 1975 while at MCAS Iwakuni in Japan. They were in the main system until 1983 when they were replaced by the Magnepan MG1.0 IMP which I still have. They moved into the den and I finally sold them in 1988.

I probably had something before these Marantz HD 66 speakers (not my actual speakers), but it's been too long!

My first were Advent Loudspeakers. I bought them in 1977.

Listening to my Advents in my basement. I just rebuilt the crossovers. They sound surprisingly good. If I close my eyes, I'm back in my college dorm room.

JBL L100 Century! "The" Rock-N-Roll speaker of the day. Wish I still had them. They had the blue foam grilles and ROCKED the block.

My first pair of "real" speakers were McIntosh ML-2Cs that I drove with a Denon 140W Integrated Amp. I picked them up in college from a friend of my roommate's dad. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have bought them as they were heavy and hard to deal with, as well as being major overkill for the size of my living space, but I loved them!

They were really good looking furniture . . . . and probably sounded good too . . . My dad had Bozak speakers that looked very similar (early 1960's)
