These type of threads always bring out clipless advocates who will try everything within their power to convert every cyclist in the world to using clipless systems..

But, if you do feel that it's so, why not post directly to the "clipless advocate" instead of a generic and questioningly useful observation.

Ahh the Bose 901's....had some of those back in the day. Picked them up in Naples at the Navy Exchange for about 1/2 what they wanted in the states. Early 80's electronics were not cheap. Also got a Pioneer CD player for $700 which was damn pricey in the 1983, but I had a rocking component system rolling. Funny how the technology has gotten so good over the last 40 years that what required 5 pieces of equipment and massive amounts of space, can be achieved in a small table top unit or even a phone.

If you have the space, there’s a lot to be said for a large, sealed speaker. They are particularly well-behaved on the low end.

I’ve got a mixed system that we use often: Philips turntable and H/K receiver from the 70s played through NHT SuperZeroes from late 80s or early 90s, I think. In theory, there should also be a small sub, since that was the system design for the SuperZeroes. They don’t do much below 100 Hz.
Our youngest likes to buy music on vinyl, so we keep a system set up and in good working order.

Well .... back then having devices which specialized moving huge amounts of air violently but in a very controlled fashion was part of my way of life. Nowadays, I am pretty sure I would get complaints for all my neighbors if I made that much noise .... small but very efficient modern gear cannot move huge masses of air, but in a smaller setting, it can produce very high-quality sound.
I miss having a lifestyle which would justify having a big, loud sound system, in a way .... nothing matches the feeling of a couple fr a few hundred watts per channel .... but the sound is as good and probably better on the tiny Logitech speakers connected to my PC.

Yep, when my mom and dad divorced, she sold the house after my sister and I moved out and my younger brother was the only one left. She had plans to push him out and bought a 2 bedroom condo. He was into music and played guitar and had a 6ft Marshall amp in a 12x 14 bedroom. The neighbors were not impressed, when he turned the amp on and you could hear nothing but a hum....

My pedals arrived today. They have sealed bearings, are aluminum and have studs so my shoes won’t slip. I did a quick half mile and they feel good.
Ok-back to the speakers. 😎

Got shin guards? Ask me how I know. Enjoy your new pedals but be careful.

Ok, my most egregious Hi-Fi speakers were made from a kit I bought from McGee Radio in KC.
A three way with Peerless dome tweeter and dome midrange and a 12” Peerless polypropylene woofer. They included a three way crossover. I put the tweeter, midrange and crossover in a small box up top and built ported boxes with volume of 8.3 cu.ft.with a port to tune the system resonance to 20 Hz.
Driven by one of my Hafler amps. Never heard bass sound as effortless as those, even something fancy like the B&W 801. Just crazy good, but ugly. I didn’t put much effort into making them pretty. They were also inconveniently large. I think 48” tall by 24”wide by maybe 16” deep? Whatever the math works out to.

My Dad was an engineer at NASA during the 60's and he did not buy anything "prepacked", our stereo and TV were kits He made the case and put them both in the same cabinet. That damn thing put off so much heat, we used it as a heater for when it got cold. Even as a kid under 12, I knew how to buy a replacement vacuum tube when one died. I think the drug store around the corner from us had the vacuum tube tester until 82 or 83. My brother decided we needed a color tv and wondered what would happen if he poured water on hot vacuum tubes. Mom was not impressed and made him pay for the new TV.

Twice in the last 3 months or so feet slipped out of flip flops hopping up a curb.
Didn’t break anything. God looks out for fools like me.

I rode strictly with clipless for about 12 years. Gradually switched to flats, I liked not having to pack camp shoes when bikepacking. I thought it would be nice to not have to change shoes to go for a bike ride, but ended up with a pair of 510's just for riding because they are so sticky anyway. Recently wore holes through my favorite 510 shoes, and put clipless back on a few bikes so I can keep riding. I will probably get some new shoes, but will need to decide what bike get flats and what bikes get clipless.

"Serious cyclist" is an oxymoron. And I hate socks.
