Wow. Calibre. Pacific Stereo's 4th and final private label line. They produced that line starting in 1979. Sales staff were paid extra cash incentives, called "spiffs" to push private label gear, and you have to sell a certain percentage of private label gear to stay employed.

I'm surprised that the unit's lasted this long.

Pacific Stereo's private label line were [in ascending order of quality, roughly]:

Transaudio
Quadraflex
Calibre
Concept

Except for Calibre, all of the line had both receivers and speakers. The Concept speakers were made by ESS and had Heil tweeters.
