Platinum solos. I have no idea why. Might have been looking at speakers for nothing more than pocket change for all I knew. I didnt know anything about hifi particulars-still couldnt guess, but they got my attention and I started imagining what audio might be about. A good association I make with the Solos until this day is that they really did not seem to be about any sort of disignations. Nothing flowery there. It was all about simplicity and solid performance.
Your First Hi-Fi Hankering?
Everybody remember the first time as a teenager you fell in love with a stereo? The first system that you really wanted badly? What was it? Did you buy it?
Don't laugh, but mine was a 55wpc Harman Kardon Receiver, Klipsch Fortes and a Dennon turntable. I had to settle for a Pioneer SX-650, Technics turntable (Empire Cartridge?) and a pair of crap house brand speakers called ECI.
This was in Scottsdale, AZ in the mid-late 70's. My dream system was at a place called Bill's Sight and Sound at Los Arcos Mall & bought the other stuff at a place called Custom Hi-Fi.
