We had a Harmon Kardon up to a few years ago. Since it was analog it was replaced when we converted the home theater to digital. Kept the speakers, but I don't remember the brand. Back to 48 years ago... Moody Blues.

Dave! Looks like some nice equipment!
Please, dust those things off.
The biggest enemy of electronics is heat and dust.
Clean 'em and crank 'em.

The amp, pre-amp and tuner are Yamaha, turntable is a MicroSeiki, other components are nothing special. Power amp is only 100watt rms but it was plenty loud enough for me. Funny though, I could play anything with the Volume cranked up but one song, Renegade by Styx had some heavy bass at the start of the song and if I didn't turn it down it would always blow the inline fuse to the speakers.

Had to do some searching for the name of that song and realized I hadn't listened to any Styx for a long time and they were/are one of my favorite bands. Guess I know what I'll be listening to for awhile.

Still have my Marantz 2215B tuner hooked up to a pair of Radio Shack speakers in my basement work shop. Most kids of today will never experience the quality of the sounds that came forth from our beloved audio brands. Or the quality of the music/ artists from the 60's and 70's.

Agree about that, there was some decent rock in the 80's but very little that I really like after that. But I remember watching Ed Sullivan with my dad in the early and mid 60's and he absolutely hated the rock bands that Ed was having on the show, of course the long hair didn't help.
