In that case I have a late 90s Yamaha receiver and surround / sub in the house.
In the garage, not exactly high end  I use random components, A mid 90s Magnavox Cassette / CD changer unit, late 90s Aiwa powered sub, boom box style speakers from Sharp probly late 90s, run through a Technics equalizer, unsure the vintage, likely 80s. It does boom pretty good though. Usually the source is Pandora in there, from a smart DVD player... as the CD changer died, and the smart DVD player no longer supports youtube, lol.[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 12-15-2020).]

I remember going to Payless drug store in Hayward with my Father with a shoebox full of TV vacuum tubes.....They had a tester and drawers of replacement tubes......Did that probably once a year from 1966 to 1969...Don't remember doing that once we moved to Dublin.....

I still have a Technics turntable and a Jvc tube amp that is louder than anything you can buy in a store today. [This message has been edited by Australian (edited 12-17-2020).]

I have old Pioneer gear I bought in College. 
I also have the SK31 ghettoblaster I purchased during my stay at Chanute Air Force Base Illinois.

Speakers, Fisher 15' 4 way , Electro-voice 10" 2 way, Marantz 12" 2 way ported, All collected over the years, these are large cabinet speakers. I guess you would call them "Old School Vintage speakers" You may notice some old names, The Electro-Voice & Marantz are at-least 50 years old, they all work great together.
