Ok, I still don't get the point. In fact, the above quote supports MY point... that the public in the late-70s was very hifi conscious (as opposed to your original claim).

p.s. - "we'd like to here it..."?

@puggo

I respect your opinion and I understand where you are coming from.

But that quote accentuates my point too-----that the audience pined for improved sound quality on their TV's----which obviously did not hold a candle to listening to a 6 track magnetic presentation in a 70mm auditorium(so it was always easier to be impressed when watching such a presentation).
