I was in Okinawa Mar '89-'90, Camp Foster 1st MAW. Went to the PX one day to listen to speakers. Went into the speaker room saw they had a pair of Klipsch Tangent 50s and a pair of Bose 601s hooked up to a Nakamichi (90watt I think) receiver. so I cranked it up to about halfway on the Bose, then without turning it down clicked right over to the Klipsch.............SOLD! Just under $750 and TWO Cab rides to the barracks! Ran them from a Carver C-2 Pre-amp, Carver m200t amp, DBX 120X-DS Xover, DBX cd Player, SAE A202 amp to a DBX SW-3830 sub. Traded the Tangents to a guy for a pair of Cerwin Vega D-9s when i got back in the states..............shold have Never gotten rid of them!
