was a total letdown. The system consisting of a MR78, C28, 2105 and MPI4 maximum performance indicator was flush mounted into a wall system driving Bozak speakers. The light show was incredible with the blue glow emanating from every component along with the mesmerizing pattern generated by the MPI4.Sound quality? Dismal. Flat. Dull. Zero dimensionality. Devoid of transparency.
I guess those folks were more into bling than music.
At that point in time (1974 - junior in high school), my reference was tri-amped Tympani IIIs driven by Audio Research SP-3a, D-76s on mid/top and Crown DC300a on woofers using EC-4 crossover. There was simply no comparison as to which one sounded most like live, unamplified music.
Guess which brand you'll find in my system forty odd years later. :)
