[Vintage-Audio] small speakers

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hey Michael,

I will make you a deal. You come to MI to see and hear my three stereo 
systems and I will come to MO to hear yours. Yes, I am serious! Christmas is 
coming son! If I am good for a whole week or two in a row, and that is 
asking the near not possible!, the bearded wonder from the Pole Of North 
just might bring me either a Panasonic VHS to DVD recording deck or get my 
Yamaha natural sound CR-1020 integrated stereo amp with tuner repaired (dead 
left channel, probably a melted solder joint) or fix my Sony DTC 59 ES DAT 
deck!

>>I have a fairly detailed description of your stereo gear from a while

> No, the main system is still in the half-finished basement room, and it's

>>I am particularily

>>I am still using the same wire I bought in 1974, I am a "little" out of 
>>the
>>current speaker wire info loop!

> Yeah, I don't follow much of the current esoteric thinking regarding wire

>>Thanks! I would love to hear your system. When can I sneak in Bro?

> Next time you find yourself in Jefferson City, Missouri, you are most
