In the 70's it was Radio Shack Mach mains like MarkSJohnson and Realistic recievers.
In the 80's it was Pioneer receivers, equilizers, and 4-way CS60 mains with 12" Turbo woofers (still gottem and they are still like new)
In the 90's it was Pro Logic baaaaaaby and my JVC AV receiver and Tape Deck. For speakers I was still using my 80's Pioneer 4-ways, Advent center, and Infinity bookshelf's for the surround.
You know the rest of the story.....
