I used to own one in the 80s. They are nothing short of shear powerhouses, We pushed ours one time to see how much it would deliver, and to say, you couldnt yell over it and the neighbors heard it two blocks over. They can shame a transistorized unit any day. I am looking for one. I wasnt able to take mine when I moved, a major loss. I never knew they were this sought after till I statred checking on them. I never knew they came with a remote! We owned it for a long time too.
