I have a stereo equipment bought in the 80's:
Thorens TD147 Jubilee with Shure V15 III and eventually Grado G2+ (1984)
CdPlayer Pioneer PD8500 (1992)
MARANTZ Pre SC-8 + 2 Mono Esotec MA-5 (150 W) (1983)
Speakers ESB 7/08 (Made in Italy - 1985) sound like old B&W ; they had a very good reputation at that time in europe (floor speaker, pneumatic suspension, 3 ways)
earphone Stax (1986)

DVD player Sony DVP NS700V (2002)

Now my question is considering the technology evolution, in your opinion is this equipment still valid in terms of sound quality ?I have some doubt about the cd player and the preamplifier which does not have many inputs (no digital or optical)
What's about the esotec MA5 ?
Can it be a good starting point to move to home theatre ?
thanks Mario
