    Onkyo and Denon make good stuff! I had an Onkyo, but when connections aged out to match a new projector/etc. I replaced it with another Onkyo.

    old Denon and Onkyo are great units, They still make two channel units just with features that don't interest me. I will keep an eye out this Sunday at the local flea market for cds, tools, and who knows some sort stereo component, there is a lot to take in there. Ft. Lauderdale Swap Shop.

    Glad people are still interested in HI-FI and not just fast food blue tooth speakers. Peace.

    I am bummed. I rid myself of bitchin’stereo stuff ages ago when I went through tough times. No space, need cash..Bla bla bla. I would love to have a large system again. I like my little JBL portable, but I miss large bass and expansive sound.
    I have been working on garage space and moto parts storage for awhile, and now I finally have room for flat screen and a sound bar.

    Nicely done …
    I love my FZ750 … rides nice and has a great motor … riding back to back the VFR750 (86) is stronger in the middle and up top . Both bikes are very close in performance and handling. Honda has a better finish and attention to detail.

    My FZ is next up on the lift for a little carb management…

    That's what I thought at first, but nothing matches. Does it?
