To p MICHIGAN'S NO.1 SPEAKER STORE Douglass Sound knows a hif.i system can only sound as good as its speakers -- that's why we specialize in speakers! No matter how much you spend on amplifiers and program sources, you're missing out on the magic of music, unless you're listening to accurate speakers. Dollar-for- dollar, Douglass Sound sells the most accurate speakers in all price ranges. We're the first store in Michigan to discover and market high- performance speakers by Dahlquist, Audioanalyst, Epicure and ADS. So, if you're ready to hear how good audio equipment can sound visit Douglass Sound Shops in Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids or Ann Arbor. By the way, we also specialize in phono cartridges (the 2nd most important component, sound-wise). Come in and audition cartridges by Sonus (designed by the ADC XLM creator), Stanton (the broadcast industry standard), Shure (U.S. No. 1 seller), Audio Technica (U. S. No. 2 seller!), Supex, Ortofon and more. EPICURE EPICURE The company that brought out the acclaimed, best-buy EPl 100 has introduced the 100's successor, the EPICURE TEN. With new tweeter and woofer, the EPICURE TEN delivers a midrange definition never before possible with a two-way system. EPICURE's new MODEL FIVE is one of the best sounding speakers ever available for under $80. Features Ten Year Warranty. (Audioanaolst) AUDIOANALYST With one of the most thorough Quality Control departments in the business, Audioanalyst bench-tests each and every woofer and tweeter. Then, after the drivers are installed -in the cabinets, the entire speaker is tested. Audio- analyst speakers rate "superb" in live-versus-recorded tests. Their tight bass, excellent dispersion and low distortion make these speakers "best-buys" pas ADS (Analog & Digital Systems) The U. S. licensee of famous German Braun components, ADS features "invisible", un-colored, studio-monitor quality sound reproduction. All ADS speakers, from the $96 L-400 to the tri-amped LV-1020 utilize the same remarkable Braun dome tweeter, with its wide frequency response, low distortion and high transient response. DAHLOUIST The Dahlquist DQ-10 Phased Array 5-way speaker system continues to be the "maximum' performance per dollar" speaker. The DQ-10's amazing spaciousness, clarity and musicality keep these speakers at the top of many audiophile's lists. NOTE: The ST-10 stands are now available the DQ-10.

If they're lucky, they might have a central service department for all their outlets, but that means long waits and impersonal service. Other hifi stores have contracts with independent service centers, but that also means long, long waits and even less personal attention. Worse yet, still other dealers will tell you to-send your defective unit back to the factory or to regional service centers. This means long waits; too. Douglass Sound believes that's no way to treat a customer!
