HOME MADE JBL D130 Woofers and a horn tweeter with a crossover in huge cabinets that I made. New. Hey, I was 16 and they were for my van in 1976. Very cool for the era. Used to open the side doors and let em rock at the keggers. You know, you were in high school too, right?

JBL L200 Used, Price, too much smoke to remember.

JBL L300 Used. Really big. Price, still too much smoke to remember but really expensive and incredible speakers for their time. Driven with a Pioneer SX-1280

PARADIGM TITANS new, price, not much. They were utilized in my first 5.1 system.

NILES in wall 5.1 system, came with the house.

B&W 602S3 600.00 and two KLIPSCH VA-1215 SUBS

VIENNA ACOUSTICS BEEHTOHOVEN CONCERT GRAND 5500.00

Mixed with Krell's help the Vienna's are great and yes, my memory has improved since my youth.
