Wow, that Onkyo gear is gorgeous Nando, where in the hell do you keep it all? Lol.
I bet I don’t have a tenth of your collection and am running out of room to the point of considering building a barndaminium just so I can get more.

Thanks, Spencer. It's just a matter of being resourceful and finding areas you wouldn't customarily think of storing equipment until it's ready to be used.

Realistic

I have had a long-lasting connection with Realistic gear from the 70's to the 80's. One of my favourite receivers was the STA-2080. I had a wood case made for it, then sold the receiver on consignment. The staff at Innovative Audio say the buyer was someone looking for era-specific items for a movie series.

Every bed in my house has speaker grills wrapped in plastic under them, lol.
Was looking at a vintage set of B&W 808’s and my love said “seriously another set of speakers?”
I sent this straight to her phone.

Spencer: Speaker grilles stowed under the bed is being resourceful. I've got more than just clothes and shoes in my closets, too.

Guaranteed to hold their value far better than any pair of shoes, well at least guy’s shoes. I hear some of those ladies designer shoes are worth the price of a car …..glad my girl is a flip flop kinda gal.
