My indoor/ outdoor venue uses QSC passive speakers and a pair of fairly high dollar amps. These are setups that I use when playing music for others. When I play music just for my own enjoyment, I'm quite happy with a pair of Focal Utopia headphones and either the SPL Phonitor headphone amp, or a portable hip DAC headphone amp with Focal Elegia headphones when on the go. Quite stunning sound even from an iPod or Android phone. I don't know why anyone would purposely use obsolete gear.

As a kid in the early 80s my old man had these CS-901s cut back flush into the cathedral ceiling of our great room which was 30x25.

When dad sold that house the new owner insisted the high fi system stay to the annoyance of his uptight wife. I remember that lol. Jean skirt and all lol.

As kids I remember the effortless sound the 15s made. Later on as teens and then as young as adults me, buddies a had few different setups nothing came close to those pioneer 15s.

If I remember right these speakers weighed 50 LBS or better?

Again I’m going back 40 years now. I never forgot the mega sound these effortlessly produced even from very low volume.

What speakers today are 15 or produce that kind of sound? Im guessing you could spend 5k in a hurry?

Again I’m open to all options but I’ve owed probably 3 of these hi fi systems over the past 20 years none ever came remotely close to dads hi fi from the 70s lol.
