| Little-known Gems jafreeman,In Saint Louis there is a Classic Rock station, KSHE 95, that has a Sunday morning show from 8-12am that plays really classic rock. They play a couple, three Butts Band tunes. Baja Bus are Be With Me are two I remember.Great tunes.JD | |
| The 70’s are back < And today’s audiophiles had Nakamichi cassettes back then ? >I did LOLJD | |
| The 70’s are back So I looked up inflation from 1973-2018 and the $600 I paid then is now $33xx.With manufacturing costs coming down on most (not all) things, I wonder if JBL is looking for me to fondly remember yesterday and want to relive those days.JD | |
| The 70’s are back When I bought mine in ‘73-74, I paid $625 including speaker wire. Everyone thought I was nuts to pay so much! JD | |

| The 70’s are back jbhiller,The Forte lll’s are great with tubes. I didn’t get into tubes until the 80’s, but by then the JBL’s were long gone.Happy listening.JD | |
| The 70’s are back LoL, I had a pair. They were my first “Big” speaker. Kept them until I got my DQ-10’s. The sound was pretty good for the time, but even if you adjust for inflation $4k is quite a bit more expensive.JD | |
| For those of us over 60.. Captain Beefheart, Rare Earth, Captain Beyond, Mama’s & the Papa’s, Clapton, Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd... Can’t pick just one.JD | |

Did you know that album Court of the Crimson King was made 279 times. And Fragile by Yes, between vinyl, 8 track, cassette and CD was made 466 times! Boy do I have reading to do.JD | |
| So I just inherited a bunch of CD's and some are made overseas... Spent the long weekend going through the over 900 CD's. Gonna keep about 225 and donate the rest to a local college who has yearly sale. The proceeds go to helping the blind.Thanks for putting up with my questions. JD | |
