| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... All the additional companies mentioned have merit and thank you for posting.I am surprised that nobody had mentioned Montgomery Ward and their tube table top AM Clock Radios...

| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... I believe Boston Acoustics had some of that Acoustic Research, KLH, Advent...DNA. | |
| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... Thanks to all. Lots of good names and I remember most. Even more that I miss are great restaurants from the past in the cities that I lived in and visited. Most of those were owner/chef operated and fragile when it comes to cash flow, employees... | |
| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... hilde45 The AR speakers were much a part of the high end history, much like KLH, Advent and others...including early Maggies...1d, etc. | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. jackskyThe Conrad Johnson ART Pre-amp, was far from "eye candy". In it's day it was considered SOTA....state of the art.

| Just an old fans memory lane. Chicago bands from the sixties... The Shadows of Knight - Wikipedia | |
| Classe Audio products, past vs. now? Well, experience has spoken. And experience can never be underestimated. Kind of like starting less than a dozen threads but responding to over seven thousand. Now that kind of experience should tell us a great deal. | |

| Just an old fans memory lane. Chicago bands from the sixties... jacahnYes, I love my times spent on Navy Pier. A friend owns a condo in Lake Point Tower which allowed easy access to events on Navy Pier and to the Gold Coast. Many of my favorite places for a great meal are in Chicago....and super "night spots". | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. Navigation. | |
| Classe Audio products, past vs. now? Depends on which system or room. The basic bedroom system is a Nakamichi Soundspace 5, sometimes with an outboard CD player, mainly for going to sleep or wake up. Another is a Magnum 208, with an older ARC cd player and Quad bookshelf speakers a... | |
| "Chain Store" stories..... Yes, I love stories, but I need a drink, a cigar (just to do my best George Burns) and to wheeze and point off somewhere into the distance if I am to respond with a story...usually prefaced with "I remember when"...etc.And yes, the store I was at ... | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. Larry, it is not always the women. I did architecture and interior design for years, even taught.
