I was thinking about my compact system, Sansui Quadraphonic, I got back in the ninth grade. Dad said if I got straight A's he'd get it for me. All my friends were amazed. Two of my buddies helped me hang the speakers in the corners. So happy, listening to all my Columbia House Club albums.
I was happy until the following year when I heard my new brother-in-law's JBL L-100's. Devastated, but the seed was sown.
