If you guys remember I posted a while back about my vintage Pioneer 305 headphones. Well, 1 side totally cut out and I replaced them w/ these vintage Koss -Pro 747b models. For sure they weigh more but do give a much more life like sound w/ good bass and pretty adjustable. What year are they from well I have to do some research. I got them for $24 w/ free shipping on E-Bay. Hey I tried and instead I found this wacky PDF from American Ad History w/ hundreds of vintage ads in this, ala Doc Hardy's vintage ad spectaculars.
Seems to be the common ailment of headphones of most vintage brands. Usually the cord efs up. I didn't get that out of the older Pioneers deads ville on one whole side.
Vintage... I have a Sansui AU-6900 (rebuilt by me new components) and a Sansui FR-1080. My dad was the original owner. The Sansui has no problems driving a pair of Elac Debut B6.

True enough -- the TU-717 doesn't impress me much sonically, though (which is why it's sittin' on the shelf). The AU-717 was/is a pretty darned good integrated amplifier.
So sad what has happened to RadioShack. They where great shops for those into electronics. I had my first summer job after freshman year at a RadioShack. I sold computers and VHS camcorders that summer. Now what was left over after the bankruptcy are finally closing.
for anyone who (still) might not know of these two sites, but who might also pine for the days when Allied Radio & Radio Shack (yes) sold McIntosh & Marantz, here's something to do for the next few days

I picked it up from the famous "Tentoze" @ AK (who has also been known to lurk and even post here -- although I don't know his moniker here!) some years back.
I was completely unaware of the TA-500 (and, its little sibling, model TA-300, if memory serves) in the days when it was a current model. I was (and am) struck by the novelty of its "Sansui separates" cosmetics applied to a receiver!
Truth be told, I didn't think too much about it for a long time -- until I had been given a pair of (don't laugh!) Radio Shack "Mach Two" loudspeakers by a coworker. I tried them on some vacuum tube amps and was (very) underwhelmed. Finally thought to myself "might as well try a soiled state power source for 'em" and - for whatever reason - tried the TA-500.
The pairing sounded quite good actually. Surprisingly good.
Indeed, if you have to use a pair of Radio Shack speakers, you could do far, far worse than a pair of Mach Twos
apropos of noting -- I stumbled across a better photo of that mismatched pair of Sansui soiled state components that help make sure one of my shelves stays put in one spot without moving around too much
True enough -- the TU-717 doesn't impress me much sonically, though (which is why it's sittin' on the shelf). The AU-717 was/is a pretty darned good integrated amplifier.
I've had a couple of Sansui amps over the years and I wasn't impressed. I know some rave about them, maybe I just didn't have the right one.
Hello gents, looking for help with these speakers. Don't know anything about them but they look interesting, well at least to me .
Any help is appreciated.

The KLH 32 speakers were remarkably pleasant to listen to little speakers as well. The Harvard, MA town dump turned up a pair of those once, too

FWIW, only one Sansui amplifier here, and it's a pretty unprepossessing example of their genre.
It'd be nice to have an AU-717...
At least you have the tuner.
Koss has a lifetime guarantee.

Oh, and a 5000A receiver, too -- come to think of it. Nice tuner section in that one (including the AM section):

Yup. Well built and attractive beasties they are, though.
Too rich for my blood (given that if I bought one, it would likely be a shelf queen).
The AR-3a pair above looks nice; everyone should at least spend some quality time listening to a pair of AR-3 or AR-3as, I would opine.
I'd like to get my hands on some Yamaha M1000 just because but forget it.
Any help is appreciated.
