A buddy built some speakers that are triangle shaped with Electrovoice drivers, a 12" woofer and a midrange and tweeter horn. They are about 3' across and play LOUD. This was in about 1975 and my ears were pretty much 'painted on' (useless) but Billy Cobham's Spectrum album sounded damn good, very vibrant and dynamic. We also used to go over to his buddy's house that had stacked Advents and Crown amps "you know those Crown amps have no distortion" I can still remember my friend Kirk saying. With a chuckle I can look back and fondly remember those times, four of us crammed onto the sofa on a Friday night. Of course no substance abuse, we were under age...
Yes we were a bunch of dorks but the HI FI floated my boat and I started reading TAS shortly after (issue 9) and bought Maggie MG1, Audio Research SP6A and Audio Research D52 and some cheap turntable with lamp cord for wire - of course.
The rest is history, I am on the 3rd time having really been into audio as a hobby and maybe even learned a few things! I certainly have made a few friends and Audiogon has been a great place to share thoughts and information.
Cheers
Phil
