Last night I carefully repacked the 60s and set up the 80s,
and played my favorite Bob Dilllionn cds, amongst others.
I'm dealing with "the wife factor". Placement options in my
living room are limited to one; speakers on each side of a
fire place on spanish tiles that extend 18 to 20 inches from
back wall to carpet. The 80s bass was way distorted
probably due to the sonic bounce from the 3 inch away back
brick wall. The 80s are not as placement friendly as the
60s. This info is of course pertinent only to my situation.
Given the right environment the 80s would be great. Tonight
I unpack the 60s, hook them up to my amps B speakers, and
do a side by side comparison. You know, I always loved the
60s, and I'm old enough to not remember.
