I couldn't see it. Anyway, during the '80's & '90's, most manufacturers of electronics participated in the great race to the bottom and produced total crap. Even today, when do you see real quality? Regardless of how good they are, virtually none are designed to last and all use new disposable technology to some extent. As a matter of fact, todays electronics rely so much on MPU's that it's a virtual certainty that once warranties are gone, failed MPU's will mean a bricked device. We all know what old electronic circuit boards look like. Today, they all look like computer mother boards. How do you fix those? R & R will be todays technicians job but once there is no more stock, there will be no more fix.

What a piece of junk! The box is 95% empty!

Yuck. You’ve got to go back to ancient times to find quality TEAC gear.

Planned Obsolescence has always been the watchword in everything since the 80s TEAC was up there with Pioneer back in the day. Audiophile heaven then turned cheap whore turning music tricks on the street... :hoveround:

I think my X-7 was an 80's manufacture and the LSH265 speakers were purchased somewhere in the neighborhood of 2011'ish era.

You can still find audiophile stuff from Teac but you have to go to an audiophile place and pay audiophile prices. These speakers alone were $100 each. But once you hear them you stop worrying about the price. These took the place of two 12" 3 way floor speakers and while they're too small to punch your chest they have a deep warm sound that fills the room better than those huge floor models. Aside from punching your chest you will think your are really there when you close your eyes.
