I bet they sound like ****. Tell the guy to give YOU $120 to take them off his hands.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul! -
It's like the engineers on that made a good speaker... then went out for a few drinks, ended up snorting some coke off a few strippers, somehow got mixed up with some hash and a little acid and decided that maybe they needed to go back and add "more" to their creation...
"These shound like shhheeeeiiiit, Shteve."
>vomits<"Ugh... HHHuuuuhhh.... Yeah..."
"It needsh more..."
"More wha?"
"More tweetersh... More Bassh... More angly damn thangsh on duh frontsh..."

Well, I've actually heard a pair of these years ago. And they sounded pretty awesome. These are not the el cheapo speakers Technics made in the later 80's. As far as looks....no different than some of the old JBL, Altec's and a few other brands.
Everpress, I pm's you earlier. Did ya get it?--Gary--

Except that the old JBL, Altec, etc. had world-class drivers and horns that are still in much demand.
Not that Matsushita wasn't (and probably still isn't) capable of making good loudspeakers... it's just that these probably aren't they. These look like pretty typical massmarket late-1960s/early-1970s Japanese speakers, many of which found their way to the US via GIs from Southeast Asia in those days... and which are today sometimes referred to as "Kabuki" speakers.
The boxes were typically too small for the drivers, resulting in a high Qtc that gave a pretty substantial midbass bump; the overall sound was also typically pretty "nontransparent" for lack of a better word.
Bet you could find a pair of Monitor 7 series for $120 smackers... -
I heard a set of SB-series Technics a couple months ago that amazed the hell out of me. Box, with another enclosure on top, had some bigass handles on them as well. Can't remember the model, i'll ask him.I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

I love the "let's see how many drivers we can fit on there" look."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

The ones i heard were SB-7000s.
Seems like they're a different price range, though.

Yeah, the SB-7000 and its brethren were actually something to be reckoned with.
-
The SB 7000's look similar to my SB 7070's...14" woofers to give a scale to their size.
These that I have sound amazing as well. Very airy soundstage and well balanced sound.
But talk about BIG. With the covers off they look a little better to me.
A pair of these sold for over 700.00 and the top tweeters didn't even work so they must have a following.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
