I was a teenager in the mid 50's and early 60's, and the best my limited
budget could handle was a pair of Heathkit 10w PP amplifiers and an Eico
pre-amp.  You didn't have to turn this up too awfully loud before it didn't
sound so great.  You also ran the risk of burning out speakers.  The
teenager of today has the ability, on proportionately the same budget, to
generate ear destroying volume.  Of course they don't care what it sounds
like; they can't hear it.
