My dad was a technician and felt the same way. He said that American components, especially at what was considered consumer level, was deteriorating fast. The Europeans still had old world quality, that was still expensive. The Japanese however really found a way to marry the quality at a level everyone could afford. And then the 80's happened...

However, in 1969 my dad felt that way about women also as I am a result of a Israeli/German mom and my Philadelphia born dad. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Great looking radio! That Uher's woofers look fierce! I wouldn't mind either one. Congrats to you all who have one. Does it really sound better than the 800 tho? I'll snatch one up if anybody's offering one up on a trade or something.
