I went to my local shack yesterday expecting to see it all but emptied out. Not so and as a matter of fact the store maneger said their store was going to continue normal operation.
Really sad to see this once great company go down the tubes over the last decade. They have been around forever, and I used to love going there to look at stuff, save up for it, and buy it. Their catalog was the best. There is a website that has all their old catalogs online, too.
I have gone to my local store recently, and they are still plugging along. Some stuff clearanced out, and minimal on-hand stock of what they do sell.

I bought Stereo gear there in 1974 and most of it still works.
STA-2000 stereo receiver still pumps 100 watts per channel and the best commercial made speakers Mach One's still sounding good.today. Low frequency response goes all the way down to 15 Hz with continuous coverage upto 40 KHz. Changed the tweeters to the leaf piezo type way back when and the highs are still crisp and clear. Now I use it all for amplified sub-woofer for my home theater system.
I miss that store before phone shack happened.

Had a set of the Mach Two's, they were very good but couldn't touch the Bose 901's I replaced them with.
I doubt it. my cerwins are AT series and sound sweeter than any dx I've ever heard.I like my Cerwin Vega speakers. Maybe because they are the DX series.
1974 - that was about the time an RS employee answered my question about the meaning of "RMS" when working with audio outputs. According to him, it's "Real Music Sound". Sigh.
Maybe you are tuning up on the wrong band.
Did my other post REALLY fly that high over your head? Radio forum? DX series speakers? Hint hint wink wink.

it wasn't over my head at all, just below my standards.
I can't help it if my speakers are better than your jokes.
Well it just wouldn't have fit on a radio forum if I had said I liked them because they are AT series would it? Someone that is radio minded might have thought I was talking about Aldo and his Alpha-Tango Club.
I do have a pair of DX-1's but they just get carted out to the deck in the summer. I have a pair of AT-12's for in the house. The old school Yamaha MX-830 drives them nicely. The DX-1's are fed by an Electro-Voice Dynacord 7100 amp.- No one is chatting at the moment.
