Just saw your post in 80's BPC thread. I bought my Kenwood at the Hansen PX also, only a few years earlier (1977). Good to have another Marine on AK! I was with 9th Motor Transport Bn 3d FSSG. Just before I rotated back to the world, we moved to Camp Foster. I too have several Bose speakers (301, 501, 901 Series III). I like the way they disperse the sound around the room, so don't let the bashers get to you if you want to go with the Bose speakers. I would like to get a Bose amp/receiver one day, but the ones I see on the 'bay are too beat up or too costly. Remember if it sounds good to you, it is good no matter what anyone else says. Semper Fi, Greg
