Boom Ting Boom Ting. Had many a cop called for noise complaints when I owned them. They were ridiculous for home use. Serious party speakers.

Yep. Mid-fi class speakers that would play really really loud. They always lacked transparency and cohesion. You could never forget that you were listening to them.
Internet radio seems to have higher fidelity than over the air AM.
Hot spot plus smart phone (wifi only) plus bluetooth speaker allows one to stay with the same station for hundreds and hundreds of miles of driving.
Well I was joking about the conspiracy, but the market does work differently in different places - Rush was on AM in Philly for years, then went to FM for a bit, and a few years back went back to AM - the major talk radio stations in the area are still mainly AM, including those carrying Prager and Mark Levin, with FM going mainly for continuous music, primarily rock and rap but some classical carried by the university stations - that’s how the market is working in this region.....
Pawn shops.
Ii refuse to listen to commercials?
1300 CDs on my iPod in he truck, Netflix, Amazon on my iPad, iPhone and roku tvs... I get ny news from FR.
Ive smoked an amp or two. ;-) Newer commercial amps die politely. Older ones would fry everything connected to them and likely start a fire.
I saw something on TV the other day saying the X generation is fascinated with LP's and the sound they put out so there is a company making them again.
It is a fact they do put out a better quality of music.
I have one of those sitting out in my garage. Still have the turn table and tape deck also. No speakers though. :-( Beautiful music came out of those.
It was 1973. Electrophonics Quadrophonic stereo.
The ladies heard Joe belting out Rocky Mountain Way from those 4 speakers and immediately started shimmying out of their hot pants. I wasn’t even wearing English Leather.
It was just two more speakers, so it must have been the reverberator ...
Yes, stacking speakers was definitely a thing back in the day. Locally, we were into stacked Advents. At $125 each, they were cheap audiophile thrills.
I still remember the release of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. Jaw-dropping. All the more so because it was well recorded. I still have a MFSL pressing of it.
This might work for you.
Dude, don’t forget the 8-track...
I would need to find and gas up my Deluxe Model Way-Back Machine to find any 8-Track players I haven’t lost or thrown out.
Just buy a car stereo that has AM-FM and a CD player and hook it up to a 12v power supply. I set on in a box and used it in my home for a long time. Great sound.
AM/FM Tuner plus TREBLE and Bass. Hmmm. Most newer models lack treble switches, I’ve discovered. Somebody decided we didn’t care about the strings and light metallic sounds.
“Somebody” is wrong.
Nice model here for just $88.Clams.
Maybe you should have checked good old Walmart instead of over priced Best Buy.
