For example, an amorphous deposition Boron cantilever (with the higiest rigidity/

More amazing, perhaps, is the fact that Denon's least expensive cartr dgE , the DL -300,

The same Dynamic Servo Tracer system is incorporated on

developed for warped and hard -to -trace records. Damping, anti -skating and

performance potential of transistor tecinology. The elimination of Negative Feedback (Non-NFB removes the
princioal caJse of Transient Intermoculation and Time Delay Distortions and represents the very latest in con -
tempc-ary audio design.
Virtually all of this technology is incorporated into the PMA-750. To keep its trans's-ors operating

Space contoured Sound.

Introducing the finest listening instruments Acoustic Research
has ever built. The AR9Ls and 98Ls. Two speakers that reach such
shimmering highs and thundering lows they evoke a new experi-
ence in high fidelity. An intensified sonic experience in which lis-
- tezez; living space and speakers form an integrated relationship.
Where optimum sound is achieved within the natural acoustics of
the living space-not just in a scientific test chamber. This exper-
ience we call Space -contoured Sound.
To contour sound to human living spaces, both the 9Ls and
AV feature a revolutionary Lambda driver. A Dual DomeTm
mid-highrange configuration that eliminates crossover interfer-
ence and achieves totally coherent dispersion. In the 9Ls, we've
introduced a down -firing woofer coupled with a Bass Contour
Chamber. When you hear it, you'll know why Acoustic Research
is more than our name. For details and local dealer names call
Ai1-800-824-7888 * toll -free. Ask for Operator 14.

The number one selling
audiophile loudspeaker in
Japan isn't Japanese.

Over the years, Japan has introduced

some of the most innovative audio
products in the world. So it's not sur-
prising that the Japanese are highly
critical when it comes to selecting
components for their own homes.
What might surprise you, however, is
that the number one selling audiophile
loudspeaker in Japan isn't Japanese.
It's made in the U.S.A. by JBL.

In fact, in a recent survey conducted

by one of that country's most highly
regarded audio magazines,* JBL was
voted the most desired loudspeaker
by an amazing 44% of those surveyed.
The closest competitor received only
11.9%. Even more importantly, over
25% indicated that they already
owned JBL speakers.

To find out a few more surprising facts

about JBL, visit the audio specialists
at your local JBL dealer.

THE BIG SOUND

YOU CAN MOVE
AROUND.
ny The big freeway sound

For people who have to economize in space there is a tiny,

moveable speaker that doesn't economize in sound. Not only
can the EPI LS81C be mounted almost anywhere at virtually any
angle and any position in your car and deliver a big, rich sound, The big living room sound
it can be snapped out and used in your living room.
The reason this little speaker delivers such a huge sound is that it's built with virtually
the same components we use in our famous EPI home hi-fi speakers: The celebrated
one -inch "Air Spring" tweeter, a specially designed four -and -one-half irch bass driver.
Maybe the times are making you sacrifice space. That doesn't mean you have to
sacrifice sound.
