tubeperson,
high school seems to be the operative word here. Barely knew what an amplifier or speaker was back then.
and jazzyvee,
Where in the world did you find that? And how cool is that? If I had someplace to put one that would be really cool to own. Thanks for finding that. Never knew anything like it existed.
and hammer,
What did you do, put your bed or desk on top of the speakers? I still can't imagine a pair of Klipschorns or LaScala's in a dorm.
One of the first set of PA speakers I bought was a pair of Sunn's with two 15 in. woofers, a large wooden horn covered in vinyl and two small piezo tweeters all inside a single box. The cabinet was probably about 5 ft. x 3 ft. x 3 ft. Heavy as hell.
I was living on a farm then and when we weren't playing I'd stick those in a room with a Crown or BGW, pre-amp and eq. Luckily, our nearest neighbor was about a half mile away. We would often, under various stages of sobriety, stick some music on, close the rooms door (as if that really made a difference) and just sit in the center of the room with the volume way up.
I can't remember how many times I saw people come stumbling out of that room. Many seeming to moan incoherently. Ah, the good old days.
