So is it 125 watts per speaker?? I just want one to run my old stereo off

[@digitalsound19]

Hey Lenny, You are the audio man we really appreciate you coming to see us and posting the really nice videos of our store, I hope all is well. Hope to see you again, stop by in Allentown Pa anytime. Thanks Dan

[@LennyFlorentine]

Hey Dan! It was great visiting you! Hope to come back soon!

[@johnbeckham1483]

Wow! The Vintage stereo scene is great!

[@stubert38]

That one next to the McIntosh 275 with the wooden side panels is an amplifier made by audiocontrol

[@AUTISTICLYCAN]

I've personally met the guy who runs the Turntable Store and found he is the absolute NICEST Person on this Earth. He sold me on those 2 HUGE Dulany SC-IV speaker's Lenny shows in the video. The nice gentleman you saw who runs the store brought them to me. Wonderful man salt of the Earth.

[@LennyFlorentine]

That’s so great that you have been there too! He’s a great guy and it’s a wonderful store! Good to hear from you!!

[@lindaortiz3273]

I love it when you see the lesser recognized brands components. There is some incredible stuff from the lesser known names.

[@Jared-91]

I live in Pennsylvania. I had no idea there were any vintage hi-fi stores in the area. The first one isn't far from me.

[@circleforalanding]

Wow brings back great memories. 2:00 I still have a Marantz 2238B receiver that I bought new back in ‘79 or ‘80. Had the box and wooden case up along with a United Audio turntable and Altec-Lansing speakers. 5:52 I have that same Realistic EQ that I bought new back sometime in the’80s. Wish I had a time machine lol

[@tcorey583]

The Turntable in Manheim PA is the best. I’ve bought a lot of gear from Max. Great guy, great staff.

[@hhvictor2462]

"Tokyo Electro-Acoustics Company" aka TEAC ....... cool tidbit!

[@yellowrat77]

So nice seeing Max from the Turntable store. After seeing a listing on Reverb I drove the 1.5 hrs to Manheim and was totally charmed by the visit. The specialty retail experience is all but hollowed out and I miss it - the professionalism, beautiful products, and candid conversation among enthusiasts .. all pushed aside by synthetic corporate franchises and the internet. That morning I walked out with a fine little Beomaster and the reminisce of how quality shopping and browsing should be.

[@strothermartin5368]

O.M.G. .....Hi Fi Heaven........ I still have my Hi Fi... It's over 50 years old. Still works GREAT!!!

[@hhvictor2462]

I can't believe out of all that luscious vintage gear that lady picks out as her favorite a portable cassette radio.

[@tesmith47]

Cost😊😊😊

[@cattrek]

The receiver or the 901s that you talk about had the spatial unit built in the receiver and the EQ. This was for the back 8 drivers to balance inward or outward, and only the Series III and IV 901 speakers had this. There were two types of Bose Receivers, the Bose 550 at 40 watts 8 ohms and the other was the Bose 551 at 100 watts at 8 ohms. The Receiver itself was specially designed for the 901 and only those two series.

[@SuperMcgenius]

The TANBERG receiver that he passed over is extremely good.

[@gitarbrettet]

Tandberg is nice! Here in Norway they are pretty popular. The TR2045 is good, but not the most sought after. No RCA connections only 5pin DIN. Other then that i think it is realy nice (same as the 2060). The looks are perfect and good power with 45W per cannel (8ohm). The most popular items is the TR1000 series, TR2055, 2075, 2075mkii and the TR2080. The Huldra 8, 10 and 12 is also realy nice. There is more, but i think those I mentioned is kind of the best from Tandberg.

[@MusicmanDavid]

Wow, stumble upon your video and from the beginning I was transported back to my teen years as an audio buff. It also made me a little sad, because it reminded me of all of the pieces I've lost over the years. 😥 BTW, I live in Philly and Barracks is and has been legendary for decades.👍

[@LennyFlorentine]

Thanks so much! Glad I out that in there even know it was on the Jersey side. That’s awesome!

[@MrMichaelj101]

Hey Lenny, I’m new to your channel. My name is Mike. I’m a military veteran and I have a slight stereo addiction that I got when I was in Germany and I’m 60 years old. I’ve had this addiction for a while. I seen some of your videos and I watch every video that you have. I’m a hi-fi head. Don’t have a lot of money for the top and stuff can’t afford that but I call a Lo-Fis system. that’s what I have anyway I didn’t know anything about Mortz TV. I live in Pennsylvania in Warminster maybe a 30 minute ride from there. I have an old Heath kit AR 1429 and the bulbs in there for illumination, 1:49 Are 24 V bulbs. I didn’t know that until I went to Mortz and asked him if he had any at first he said no and I was looking around the store dreaming for about 10 minutes and then he came out of the back and he said hey I have six of those bulbs I’ll sell them to you for two dollars apiece so I took them and put them in my stereo. Everything’s doing good. Great shop thank you very much for your channel. You’re a great dude keep up the good work.

[@LennyFlorentine]

Thanks Mike! Great to hear about your experience! Thanks for subscribing!

[@dtracy03ss]

Holy Crap! I will watch this whole thing at different times but wow!

[@LennyFlorentine]

That’s the way to do it!

[@jimmyBside]

Cool, The Turntable Store…right off the bat. Got a NAK BX-300, with the box and shipping foam, from them a few years ago. They were great to work with…🍻

[@williambock1821]

You buy the Abby Road reel 2 reel, take it home, put it on your Akai M8 then start cursing as it eats the tape and ties it in knots,lol.

[@aarontaylor2906]

So cool these video’s please keep doing these 😊!

[@LennyFlorentine]

Thank you! Plan on it!

[@jayweb702]

I finally subscribed after watching several videos, don't have an excuse :(. anyway I'm glad you visited my state. I may have to go on a road trip to check out some of these locations.

[@LennyFlorentine]

Thank you! Doing some traveling next week up through western PA as well!

[@stevenferris901]

Have an old Kyocera R-451 driving two ADS 810’s and it is still puts out an unbelievable sound and puts my Definitive Technology to shame!

[@danielknepper6884]

Those are two good choices for high fidelity

[@lancomedic]

That’s my RT707 RTR tape deck at 1:53. I bought it from Max 2 weeks ago. I can tell it’s mine because it has the replacement pinch roller on the feed reel side.

[@JohnScheppler]

Great recap of PA videos, plus I noticed a few new things either missed the first time or maybe added footage. There is a lot of really cool vintage gear in PA.

[@LennyFlorentine]

Thanks John! Yeah I love structuring it like that. A lot of people I watch do it and I always end up rewatching the package video multiple times cause I can just put it on in the background and always catch new things.

[@bengregory9267]

Interesting that you mentioned you never know what's in those furniture style speakers at 47:54 - Those were a pair of KLH Model 23's without the badges, which are some well regarded speakers from the early 70's, and a speaker I have had the pleasure of finding. They sound fantastic, surprising bass response and warm midrange, very fun to listen to.

[@LennyFlorentine]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, cause I surely forget most of those, glad I have subscribers to help!

[@hhvictor2462]

I own 2 Sansui 221 receivers. Perhaps the best low budget receivers out there. A beast!

[@andreasbianconeri879]

I love vintage stuff

[@g.fortin3228]

Lenny ! The Nikko NR-1415 .. real sleeper and will surprise ya' Set it up and listen to it the sound is very nice and detailed similar to an SX-1250 for sound quality. Build inside is also nice.

[@LennyFlorentine]

That Nikki was so cool looking, I bet it sounds great!

[@g.fortin3228]

@@LennyFlorentine yes it does and plenty of ooomph too. My amp boards and power supply/protection boards recapped, and it sounds so good I don't want to touch the preamp board !

[@iceb-akap77ice93]

OMG. Very nice store..

[@AudioGuyBrian]

I had a friend with a pair of those Ohm speakers. You had to drive them hard for them to sound good, but give them a little too much juice and they blow. He was really upset with that purchase.

[@marcdich]

Those speakers he was testing out for you. I had a set of those about five years ago, but the foam was rotted out on it the Styrofoam itself, and even then I didn’t know how special those were. I wish I had kept those but what I do have is the Aki track 4000 complete and it works. Just don’t have the box for it. You are definitely in a cool store. I may have to take a visit over there. I’m in Ohio and all my stuff is for sale

Like seeing the vintage records. Hunting for just sounstage can turn into a mistake.

[@sammaze2103]

If you want to step up in quality with a Intergrated Amp and Receiver! In my opinion the best out there is a Pioneer SA-9500 amp and matching TX-9500 Tuner! Plenty of Power and Sound Quality I’ll match against anything ! I’ve worked on these for 50 years and the Components used are Top Notch ! I personally have this set up that is totally original except for aligning the Tuner and replacing the original bulbs - as far as the amp everything is totally original including the light bulbs ! The Filter Caps are all within spec ! This was sold new in 1975! How could you do better than this ? I purchased a total parts rebuild kit for both units and it’s just sitting in the boxes on the shelf! I think there are many that will agree with me ?

[@moefugger]

The OHM model F @ 51:10 is without a doubt the best sounding speaker i have ever heard. The OHM line of speakers has changed in design somewhat , but overall a highly regarded line of speakers.

Do they price this stuff to sell or are you dealing with audio "hoarders" that think every piece is made of gold? There are a million pieces out there. What's your opinion on these type places?

Vintage equipment is so overpriced it isn't even worth a look. The average person can't afford the stuff, and the self proclaimed audiophiles just love to hear themselves speak. After watching a few they all become totally boring.
