Listening to 1997: Marantz, Acoustic Energy, Yamaha

Time marches on, and you give up on listening to music in that serious and focused way you did when you had all the time on the world, so you clear the loft of some vintage gear: a Marantz CD-67 SE cd player that played B.I.G. and Chopin, a Marantz PM-66 SE amplifier that was as flattering to Grace Jones as Lovejoy, a pair of Acoustic Energy Aegis One speakers that have never played Hootie and the Blowfish, and finally a Yamaha KX-580 SE tape deck for the cassette bad boy in your life. I mention them here in case you're interested in some beautifully designed massive chunks of metal that come in big cardboard boxes, contain very little computing and can only play music in formats that are obsolete or nearly obsolete. I imagine that the amp and speakers have held up the best. Auctions end in 6 days, you might get these for under a tenner.
