[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 1103909, member: 34"] Very nice post [member=2475]Agaton Sax[/member]. I was very suspicious of that Salisbury. Growing up, we had a Tempest "hifi" (or so it said on the front) that consisted of a record player (may have been Garrard SP25), a stereo receiver and two separate speakers on a metal stand with wooden shelves. The speakers were made of chipboard with real wood veneer covering, similar to our wardrobes, and had single full-range drivers. Proper hifi or not, that was where I heard a lot of Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heap, Osibisa, Santana, Cat Stevens, etc., played by my eldest brother's friends (I only realised years later that none of those LPs were owned by my brother - 11 years younger than he, I was the first person in my home to collect LPs!). Found some pics of the speakers and receiver.
