I have to agree with you there Squishy ... they just don't make Hi-Fidelity equipment like they used too!
Before I bought my Harmon Kardon 2 years ago ... I had an old YAMAHA tube amp ....
I had Radio Shack MACH 2000 liquid-cooled speakers with 15" driver, double 6" mids and 2x6 horns .... and the fucking yammy BLEW THEM !!!
That was true power
Too many companies nowdays TRICK people with their power consumption ratings ... take your run of the mill $20 computer speakers ... 120 watts ??? WTF ?!?
I only wish PC speakers pushed 120 watts RMS ... LMAO
