Side system I've put together from gear in my dad's garage. Check it out...dual Duals! Top one is a 1228, bottom one is a 1215S. That's a Rotel RX-602 receiver; it has two phono inputs, so I just had to try playing two-at-once and toggle 1&2. Realistic Optimus T-100 floorstanders with JBL 2500 bookies on top. The tweeters in the Realistics aren't that great, but the little JBLs fill-out the top end nicely. I'm going to sell this to a long-time friend at work...but with only one of the turntables.

You didn't happen to get those from a fellow named "Donnie", did you? I only asked because of your locale and someone I know in your general neck of the woods

No Doc, this guy was named Keith and is a pro drummer and leads the marching H.S. band. This way out in Hunterdon County off interstate78. His basement was full of very,very nice eye candy. A really big Krell,a tube amp, a 12 watt tube amp for the LBs w/ no pre/amp and like Jesse says it was not needed. A pair of absolutely beautiful Klipsch Cornwalls, The Recs which I got, Klipsch KG 3s and a whole lot more. He gave me permission to take pics of his gear so I hope it comes out it was very impressive. Notice the stands which were holding the Low Boys. I really wanted them but he said he needed them for the Klipsch.

My new toy. A recapped Sansui au-717. The front face is just about perfect.
There are a few scuffs on the top of the case. I'm going to strip and repaint.
Sound great with no noisey controls. I'll be changing out speaker A clips
for modern posts. I'll have to retrieve my speakers from my son's house
in Texas during the Thanksgiving break.

Good for you!
The AU-717 is a nice amplifier: aesthetically, structurally, and sonically. They're not rare (even though they were 'spensive)... but I'm still waiting for one to cross my path.

Put a set of silk domes in those T-100's and a decent cap (there is no crossover) and wait for the smile to come !

I'll play.
Had this since I was a puppy. Still works a treat.

Kenwood amps from that era put out a nice sound.
-
That Kenwood series was highly regarded in some circles. Cannot ever recall seeing/hearing one in the flesh, though. None of the hifi stores I dealt with in those days sold Kenwood.
-
The Kenwood sound is pretty neutral. Normally vintage guys
won't pay as much for Kenwood as other brands. The big guns
are the exception. That's 120WPC and up. I can't say I ever saw one of those.
At that price he might have a tough time selling it.

I never saw a Kenwood that looked that good .It has those MC type meters that draw you in. 200w a side is in competition w/ my $300 Adcom. This thing is way better looking than the Phase Linear 700 and I know what you dudes think of them.2chl- Adcom GFA- 555-Onkyo P-3150v pre/amp- JVC-QL-A200 tt- Denon 1940 ci cdp- Adcom GFS-6 -Modded '87 SDA 2Bs - Dynamat Ext.- BH-5- X-Overs VR-3, RDO-194 tweeters, Larry's Rings, Speakon/Neutrik I/C- Cherry stain tops Advent Maestros,Ohm model E

Power meters on hifi amplifiers are sort of like flames painted on the sides of passenger cars.
Just sayin', you know?

^Nope^
Power meters on hifi amplifiers are sort of like flames embroidered on the sides of a woman's tightly knit sweater.

as an aside, if I were to found a hifi company -- with a nod to Cabasse, I would indeed name it Bigasse. Just thought I'd mention that.
