Hello!
« on: 16 Sep 2016, 07:37 pm »
My name is Mark, I'm new to this forum, but not to audio. I started my audio fetish back in 1971 when I modified my parent's Magnavox Console to take external source material. My first real purchase was a Fisher 504 4-channel receiver with four KLH 6 speakers. That was 1973. It has never stopped since then! In the late '70s, I switched to Crown equipment and have since bought just about every piece Crown ever made for home use. I used to buy, restore and sell Crown gear, which ended up paying for the system I have today. I also started selling speakers and was a VMPS dealer from 1988 until 2005. I also restored JBL speakers, including the L-100s, L-200s, Hartsfields, etc. Now I'm retired and just like to listen to my vinyl and reel to reel tapes I've accumulated!

I used to own the IC-150A pre-amp. Nice sounding kit. I liked it so much I moved up to SL-1 and the PL-1. Still have any of the old pieces around?

Thanks all! Yeah, I still have quite a bit of Crown gear.  Most is boxed up, but I have my main system in the living room.

Thank you! I'm currently running JBL L-200s on the bottom and JBL L-100s on top, which are bi-amped. I also have a pair of VMPS Tower IIs which I use sometimes, depending on the music being played.
