Well I guess my first Combined A/V setup was my1985 NEC 27" TV with
A pair of small ADVENT speakers for the rear channels running off
the TV, with a secondary audio feed off it to my 1974 Vintage
JVC 4VR5445 4- channel descrete audio amplifier which was hooked to
4 Dual TG 911 3 -way floor standing speakers as well as 4 Large advent
2-way speakers in a series paralell setup.
All of this gear is still in daily use by the way, the TV now resides
in My bedroom, and the 4 Channel JVC is hooked up to a 36" RCA TV
In the livingroom and is still used daily.
P.S.
The JVC amp was thier top of the line product in 1973 and
was purchased April 1973 for a
wopping $1400 txs in , in 1973 dollars ( you could buy a new Car for $3000) but it has and still does perform flawlessly for some 33 Years now, Guess You Get What you pay The JVC 4VR5445 is my most prized piece still as it is incredibly rare vintage piece of gear with less then 15 units ever being sold in North America,in the 1 year it was produced and in my contacts with JVC Canada
and JVC japan only 3 units were ever sold in canada and mine is the only Know unit of all the 15 to still exhist, besides the original prototype.
These recievers were built in very limited #'s and shipped as ordered according to JVC japan. Its a honking paperweight too at an incredible
57 LBS. Its a heck of a piece of gear.
I also have still in working condition
1 Sony 4 channel 10" reel to reel tape machine, an AKAI 4-channel
reel to reel tape, and a fully functioning 4 channel discreet Vinal Record
setup with shibetta stylus cartrige, I just hate to part with anything [
