Watching the news lately reminds me of this old ad

1. Iconic 70's Maxell sound tape ad. Our Big Boom speakers matched our politics at that time, too.

2. When Maxwell ruled the day and we actually thought Bose were good speakers.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, the good ole days.

3. Maxell tapes and a Marantz receiver ...

... and a Marantz tape deck made awesome cassettes for popping into your car's tape player! I still have some of those tapes made in the early 80's off CD's, and they play as good today as they did when made. Boom Boom by Trio, anyone?

4. I still have a Denon cassette deck up in the closet...

I don't own ANYTHING to play in it, but it's still there.

5. Great choice...

... I still have a JVC 200 watt receiver, NEC CD player, Marantz cassette deck, Fischer/Marantz and EV Interface speakers. All hooked up and working. Some chicks really dig my tower!

6. I am really into my music and video ....

back when I "had" some disposable income, I built a home theater that is 16 x 32 with 6 recliners, all with butt kickers. Each front corner has a 900 watt SVS subwoofer (each with dual 12" drivers) and the receiver is a 110w per channel Denon. I built custom bass traps for the ceiling corners and calibrated the sound to the nth degree. The front projection throws onto a 110" screen.
It's my pride and joy. Sorry if I sound like I'm braggin, but I built it all by hand and am proud of it. I love giving demo's of the bass. It will go down to 10MHz with no distortion at all.

8. I am into the tech stuff...

... so found it interesting. I had one of those BSR 15 inch passive subwoofers hooked up to the Marantz system, my deaf friends and I had literal BLASTS sitting on my living room floor... and playing Boom Boom, ha

And it was strong enough that a friends wife would stand on it and dance like a go go dancer when I had parties.

Ah... those were the days.

9. I'm with you. Not many things better than FEELING the bass

coursing through your body. My GOTO bass scene is the plane crash in Flight of the Phoenix (2004). It goes so low that it actually pressurizes the room and presses you into the recliners.

7. Sitting in front of a JBL L100.

I lusted after those. Settled for a pair of Electro Voice EV 16as in 1974. Closest thing to JBLs I could afford, together with a Pioneer SX-737, and a BIC 980 turntable. I still have the Pioneer, and it still works. Every thing else is long gone, although the speakers hung in there until the late 90s.
