I really like my S-7900A. I wish I had had it back in the 1980s as I still listened to AM radio back then...WLS in Chicago was still playing music then...but no AM on the S-8900A, as you know. I did have several vintage radios then, but it would have been nice to hear WLS on my home stereo system. Oh well, those days are long gone and WLS has been a talk station for decades now.

Like you, I have better speakers now as well. Back then, I found a used pair of B-I-C Venturi towers and thought I really had something. Now, I'm running Bozak Urbans with my 7900A. Icon_thumbup

Older speakers but higher quality, better sound.
