Not much going on so thought I would just peruse the net for some hi-fi as you do and came across these (link below),after having a number of there receivers prior to returning to proper hi-fi, I for one never thought ONKYO produced such gear, simply :wow: I wonder how it would all sound and can any modern gear be as good as these? and only asking $10 or offers or p/ex (I Jest).

I love the look, pretty much all the Jap companies did some high end stuff like that. All the kit he wants to swap it for is very rare as well.Quote:

However, the set up of that system is shocking, with the speakers WAY too close together, a sideboard sat between them and a bloody plastic TV behind.... No wonder some so-called 'audiophiles', with plenty of cash but not much clue, never get to appreciate the full potential of some of the gear they use!
