(Do room treatments count as an upgrade? LOL)

Absolutely, they do! That's one of the best upgrades you can do, too.

My first piece of gear was a Pioneer receiver, probably 1979 or 1980.I sunk $400.00 into it, it was used.The analog am/fm glowed orange.Pretty damn cool.The face was silver and the all the knobs were faceted.It weighed a ton. I couldn't afford any speaker, so I would just roll the tuning dial back and forth centering on radio stations until I got some speakers

In wood shop (I was in eleventh grade) I made boxes for a pair of 6x9 car speakers, sealed of course.The boxes were probably12"Wx7"Tx15"(deep).I made triangle wooden pieces that got screwed to the sides to angle them up from the floor.

My dad was so pissed off that I spent the $400.00 . That pioneer lasted me about five years.
