these were the First speakers I used with that system;
My main unit.........weighs in about 50 lbs.........is a SA5470, it's a beast with SL12000MK2 turntable and two 42" tall Fisher speakers.Did I hear technics?
Here's part of what my $6000 got me;
not shown is the $1100 tape deck, the matching 1000 dollar Turntable and very expensive Sony XL55 cartridge., along with
a Second amp; they were only rated 90 watts in stereo...... but 200 in mono, so I had to have dual monos, lol.

As I've been saying for yrs now...If you wanna hear what it sounds like in hell....just turn on the radio.My 12 year old son comes to me the other day in a disappointed state, he says "Dad, there isn't any good music anymore". After thinking about it, I have to agree, music lately is pretty sad. What has happened to all the bands that could actually play their instruments and write music? I have been very fortunate to see many awesome live concerts of big bands, the talent pool is definitely thinning, and aging. Remember when you could put on a record and play the whole thing!!!! I hope to be able to take my boys to a big concert in the next few years. The remaining bands of senior citizens can still whale on it harder than the majority of young musicians today. Even the boys from Metallica are not spring chickens any longer. I saw them in Edmonton a few years back, sounded better than when I saw them in 95, and 96.
One exception to this I have come across lately is the Black Keys, some pretty solid talent there IMO.
The greatest album of all time , The Who, Who's Next!!! If this is your kind of music, go onto YouTube and look up live Who stuff from 70-77, they were absolutely explosive live. That kind of vibe and energy is non existent today.
Janis made Kristoffersons' Bobby McGee her song.
I dont think he meant it in a flattering way. They are talented guys but I think they should find their own sound instead of just copying something that is popular.I have no interest in EDM, rap, or so much of today's so called music. Just doesn't do anything for me, when someone pulls up beside me in a vehicle with pounding bass, it tends to piss me off immediately.
There are some really good new artists out there. Listen to this and tell me you can't hear Led Zeppelin, even Robert Plant has said the resemblance is remarkable.
....and every second of it sucks. I caint stand that screamin beeotch.
I listened and I have no idea what this song is about and somehow I love it dearly. It was probably written on psychedelics is all I can reckon. What strikes me is it has heart and soul, and a magical meaning I'll never quite understand. IMO
Yes, this version of Whiter Shade of Pale is amazing.This one, along with the Animals House of the Rising Sun, was the first song I remember hitting me like a ton of bricks. I was maybe 7 years old and it came on over the radio in my dad's Mercury. Both of those songs remain favorites of mine to this day.
This live version with orchestra is awesome.
Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale, live in Denmark 2006 - YouTube
On the other hand, this is relatively new and a great remake of a classic song.
True story!back in the glory days it wasn't just one song....whole albums had 10 excellent cuts
Abbey Road
Yessongs
Dark Side of the Moon
...not to mention every groups "best of" album!
