[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8610178, member: 614752"] Dragon Breath makes a good point about the music source of those days. Definitely a very weak link for 12V audio. As far as amplification, I suspect there's plenty of 30 year old amps (or older) that would sound just the same as anything today. The technology to make a flat playing low (at least inaudibly low) distortion amp is very old at this point. There's even some rather antiquated speakers that hold their own quite nicely. That all said, some of these nostalgia guys really need to check out the state of the art. There simply is no way 70's stuff is better by any measure beyond efficiency, but these days power is super cheap and loudspeakers have evolved to take advantage of this. This thread gets necro'd about once or twice a year so if anybody ever sees them or buys some they'll probably wind up here. [/QUOTE]
