I've been lurking for a while. THANK YOU to those who make this forum available and to those who manage and monitor it.
I have been interested in high quality audio since I bought my first stereo system back in the mid-70s. That consisted of a pair of Acoustic Research AR-5s, Pioneer separates, a Thorens TD125AB MkII turntable, and some now forgotten cassette deck. I became interested in loudspeaker design at that time, but never did anything other than read some of Thiele's papers.
A few years ago, I found a pair of Cerwin Vega AT-15s that had been abandoned. The speakers still work very well, but the cabinets need to be replaced. I hope to do that this year while also improving the performance of the speakers.
My current system consists of a laptop running Foobar that is feeding WAV files to a DAC that is connected to a Harman Kardon HK 670 Twin receiver and is driving the AT-15s.
I hope to learn much from the more experienced members of this forum.

Welcome.
We must have about the same age, your first system could have been mine.
Enjoy the forum.

@mountainman bob Hello. I am currently in the woods between Chipley and Alford. My girlfriend and I are still refugees from Hurricane Michael.
Your about 2hrs away, if y‘all ever get back down this way give me a holler I’ll make lunch and give a demo of my current system.
