set my alarm early this morning --
to jump up and win this old chunk of my history--

but some nutcase wooodywantawonit -- not me :'-(

anyhow -
now that "i'm over it"
---------------------------------
this Cambridge , Mass. thing -- (we grew up nearby)
is important in American-made audio history ::
from back in the early 60's

first there was AR (acoustic research)
then - a pack of their 'heavies' spun off to form KLH--
then - a pack of THEIR heavies started ADVENT

all 3 competed and thrived $$$ for a few decades
mostly -- they ruled the world of high end speakers

plus - their was the famous AR turntable, the Advent tape deck
and a long line of KLH systems and FM radios-

it was sort of exciting to be up there-
and 'be a part of it'

my dad was a fan of all three outfits -
and my brother and i and our freinds
would have NO other brands -SOLID !!!
-----------------------------

so - i just lost this cambridge woody-
but am quite happy to have these memories

Ira. It looks like a wooden crate. What say you to getting a wooden crate, knocking it together and then stenciling those exact same words on it???

 

[redbenjoe]

haha with you norm --but,
often its better to buy stuff CHEAP---than to make something

you know.....

m first set of speakers were a pair of AR 25's, and my uncle had a pair of AR 9's I believe they were

 

[redbenjoe]

my guess --
40 and fifty years later --
most of the big valuable ARs , KLHs and ADVENTS are still running

And 25 years later my JBL's are incredible!!
