Default I was going through about ten years of ham catalogs, and I noticed a disturbing trend.

Radio Shack. You got questions, we got blank stares.


My 17 year old RS Optimus speakers gave up the ghost. I went into
a Radio Shack and was told that not only does RS not sell speakers
like that anymore, but speakers with one tweeter plus one mid-range
plus one woofer were not even manufactured anymore and that it
takes half a dozen modular speakers to set up a system nowadays.

I went over to Fry's Electronics and found exactly what I was
looking for from Cambridge Soundworks. The woofer only goes
down to 40 Hz but for my karaoke system, that's good enough.

A microphone, a six-pack, a karaoke system, & you're a star. :-)

Another definite advantage to CW, I suppose. With SSB there's no
telling when you might hear something that could make your head explode.
