My brother brought home a Sansui from 'Nam, and that influenced my first major component buy. It's currently in a closet W/ no right channel - The speakers are long gone (sold). I'm currently running a 5.1 100 watt Pioneer with a Pioneer center, Techniques front and crappy no brand rears, no sub-woofer. I have the sub-bass ported to the front (still 16" Woofers) so I get that punch in the gut Bass. Never really pissed off the neighbors too much - the only one who was a complaining type was a musician, and he liked my taste in music, no matter how loud I played it.
