Here we have a new kind of stereo component ad – speakers. High-end stereo system manufacturers aren’t stupid; they know who reads magazines like Heavy Metal. The kind of guy who wants to rock out in front of a Bose speaker, that’s who.

Also of interest is the condition of the cover. There’s a fairly large tear on the right side and the cover is nearly off the magazine. I point this out because this is unusual for the overall condition of the collection – the exception, not the rule.
