The BIC three ways were driven by a 25wpc Technics receiver and probably 40 feet of 16 gauge wire. Sounded great to me (my dad's system). Turntable was also BIC. I left it at the door of the AudioLab repair shop (Cambridge MA) in 1996 when all the internals froze up irrevocably. By then I had bought myself a Rega clone (NAD) and a $300 AT cartidge which I still have (though the suspension is sagging).
Don't know what happened to those BIC speakers, but I'm looking into getting a pair of vintage JBL or Pioneers just to recreate that 1976-1982 feeling.
