Where did you lose your virginity?

Around the beginning of 1989 I decided my stereo system, which will remain anonymous, wasn't cutting it anymore. A buddy of mine had just purchased a pair of Kilpsch KG4's which I had listened to and thought sounded alot better than what I had. I went to Spaceways Sound in College Park, MD (long gone) to really give the Kilpsch's a serious demo. They were driven by a Sony TA-N77ES amp and TA-E77ESD pre. It sounded damn good. Then I asked the guy what about those speakers and pointed to some Polk SDA 1B's. He switched them on and I remember thinking, this is what stereo is suppose to sound like, music everywhere. Clear, wide, deep and in the center with bass I could feel. I had a pile of cd's with me, but when I played Money For Nothing from Dire Straits/Brothers In Arms cd at concert level, well I had a religious experience. I left with the Polk's and the Sony equipment. I still have the Polk's and the Sony stuff, but I listen through some 2.3TL's now and I'm in the market for some mono blocks.

Summer of '79, my buddy bought some Monitor 10B's from a local upscale audio house. The rest of us were heavily into the New Advent Loudspeaker at the time, and the 10B gave us something different to try. While the speakers were comparable in sound quality, the 10B ultimately sounded better as my ears developed.
Those Advents still sound good though, nearly 25 years later (with new woofer surrounds). They lack the detail and imaging of the newer Polks, and the bass is muddier (surprising given the acoustic suspension enclosure), but the octave to octave balance and the lack of coloration is still amazingly good and they generate treble energy in a very natural and effortless fashion.
Oh, and Micah: Summer of 1982 in my then girlfriend's bedroom - I'll never forget that moment as long as I live.

HBombToo,
I'm sorry I missed your rip. I appreciate you addressing the issue.
I'm going to edit my previous post since leaving on here seems pointless. Do you still have that Carver amp? I heard one once, fascinating technology, sounded very nice.Political Correctness'.........defined

It was, I believe a CM-1090, but it was damaged in one of my many moves over the last few years. It was a great box and matched up real nice with my RTA8T's. When it got trashed thats when I steped into the Home Theater stuff with my H/K 520. Not a bad box but could be better.***WAREMTAE***
