Just wondered if anyone has a pair of these and if so do you like them?

I just pickd up a pair in mint cond. for FREE, i hooked them up and they sound really good i was suprised.

The guy i got these from said that he got some BOSE and did'nt need these anymore, well after hooking these up i know that the POS BOSE that he got do not even come close to these.
Just thought i would check out if anyone eles has these speakers.

I used to have them between 1978-1983 and they were OK. I then changed from amp and speakers so it's difficult to make a comparison. Anyway for free, you made a good deal.

The specs can be found on en.wikipedia.org

I took them for my garage and they will work fine for that, i was supprised on how good they sounded though.

I think he will be sorry for swapping them out for Bose though, if he is used to listing to these but its good for me!

Found some on ebay and they have sold for $500 these were made in 1977 they must have been some good speakers back in the day.

It appears a big fuss was made about these speakers back in the day. They can handle a crap ton of power as well. Those speakers where intended to be paired with the Pioneer SX-1980 receiver, which was the biggest baddest receiver around at the time, 78 pounds of killing fury!

They do sound very good for 31 year old speakers, i am running them now with my Pioneer 94 and i will say they will take what ever i put to them and sound good doing it.
