  1. It was 1974, Wauwatosa,Wis. just married and we were looking to out do a buddy's JBL, Crown system. Listened to alot of different set-ups, then, the wife said (at that time) to the salesman "got anything better" (yes! I'm a happy camper now). We went into the back listening room and a whole wall of Mac, Crown, Marantz, all good. There they were. Khorns, Lascalla, Corns and Hs. (no Belles). We both wanted the Ks but our cape cod house had no room for them. Scallas and Hs did'nt cut it, she looked at me with a smile and said we'll take the Corns.

    We were then told it would be 6 to 8 weeks before Flanners could get them in, ok, not a big deal, signed the paper work and left. 3 days later the phone rings and we could come pick-up the CWOs (buyer back out, good for us).

    Became a "x" in "96" but the corns are still with me and someday will go to my son (he's already got Hs and Crown). Daughter has Hs and Marantz. Step-daughter has kg4 and Marantz. Think I'll keep buying more, one can never have enough. There's the voices again.

    Enjoy!

  3. Ran a 7070, long time-ago, sound was really good on the twins at lower or moderate levels. IMHO, most vintage stuff will work great with Klispch. Sansui, HK, Marantz, all good in my book. However and to my ears, HK and Marantz then Sansui. Still have many (given to our kids) all up and run-in pushing Heresy's

    Enjoy!

  4. Ah heck! 4 to 8 more weeks of this stuff up here and it will be DUN. Freezing rain and 31 deg now. Its going to be real pretty in the morn as far as a ice skating rink goes. Heating, cold, no problem, I just fire up the tubes and
