Quoted from atpcfiaim:

I have 3 SAE systems. The only system I have a photo for is my 02 setup. Bi-amped bridged mono for 600 watts per channel at 8 ohms. The speakers are home versions of Altec Lansing Voice of the Theatre, model 19. The A1001 amp is 500 watts per channel at 8 ohms in another system.

Nice system!
Here is a pic of my equipment.
Lots of retro gear from legacy formats over the last 30 years.
Tascam pro cassette decks
Sony ES DAT decks
Two laserdisc players.
one which is hooked up to a meridian AC-3 demodulator to decode Dolby digital.
I’ve got about 150 laser discs. Don’t watch any very often but it’s nice to have the capability. Most of the obscure discs are finally available on DVD now.
I built a large closet next to my hone theater/stereo room the basement to store all my laserdiscs, Cd’s,cassettes,DVD’s ,DAT’s and Creature From the Black Lagoon collection.

Quoted from holminone:

Apple TV, 75” Sony Z9d, and a high powered 7 speaker atmos is boobies. Just last night my daughter and next door neighbor watched the Taylor Swift long pond sessions and “reputation” tour concert and were mesmerized. Some vintage tech is cool af. Like pinball machines. Vintage mountain bikes are cool too IMO. I would also prefer vinyl albums as hobby over laser disks any day.

Still have my 1988 Bridgestone Mb-4 mountain bike. People would ask me what it was when I first rode it. They hadn’t ever seen a MTN bike.

Back on topic I was very fortunate to have an amazing laserdisc store 20 min from my house back in the day. The owner was a fan of the format who had a very successful antique car parts company located in the same building. He brought in EVERY title released including all Adult and Japanese releases. The place was like candyland.
It was great being able to buy films and watch them in their original aspect ratio.
You could easily browse for an hour or two and not even realize the time passing by. I think it was called lasertown.
