Hi Bernie,
I had a Nakamichi 550 cassette deck that wad an excellent portable deck for recording live. It was the very first thing I bought on credit when I was a kid.
I had the ESS Studio Monitors with the Heil AMT (Air Motion Tranformers) and 2 12’s (one passive, one active)…..very nice sounding until you pushed the real hard.
I had Magnaplanars on load for a while and like the Quad’s they were very open sounding and great for Jazz or Classical.

For about a year, I worked in a local stereo chain that had a pro audio department. Between the home and pro sections, some of the brands they were pushing were:
Nakamichi cassette decks
Heil speakers
Magnapan and Magnaplanar speakers
They don't seem to get much mention in audiophile discussions. Anyone familiar with them?
Oh yeah, they also had their own synthesizer: Electrocomp.
