Just got my hands on these today and I'm really excited. I definitely paid more than I wanted but considerably less than they're worth,from what I have researched. I'm a total rook in the world of vintage gear in mostly all aspects..full disclosure lol My father's always had 70s era gear so I...

Hi, I created an account after searching extensively and not being able to find any info specific to my situation. I have a beautiful pair of Pioneer HPM-60's. I'm almost certain they're all original. They're rated for 60W/120W MAX and they have the cloth surrounds... maybe someone can chime...

Hello All, I sourced a second hand pair of HPM-40's to run with my SX-780. I have read around the forums some and following advice, replaced the capacitor in the speaker crossover unit and used DeOxit multiple times on the pot (BTW no obvious way to get the solvent in - took the control knob...

Hello all. New to posting on the forum but have certainly learned alot visiting over the years. I just picked up a pair of Pioneer HPM-100s and they seem to be missing the input terminal caps - not the posts themselves but the red and black (spring loaded?) caps. The service manual says they...

Hello everyone, This seems to be an extremely helpful forum, i've been getting a lot of hits when searching various speakers. So, I have two hpm-40s that I was given and I went to test them out, but their tweeter (not super tweeter) are broken. I took them in to Stereo Rehab in Chicago, the...

Just discovered this Pioneer HPM Service Manual PDF on another site, TVCAUDIO. Can download the big PDF from the provided link. I am posting them here in pieces as the file was too large to upload to AK as one file It contains three service manuals The HPM-100 2nd gen. manual is from 1978 and...

Besides the wattage rating, what is the difference between Pioneer HPM100s and 200s. Are the drivers rated differently or is it just the crossovers that are different. Apologies if has already been covered, I performed a general search on HPMs and there were many, many posts. Thanks in advance.

No affiliation, they may be flexible on price. Found on letgo app. Just visiting the KC area from Oregon and was checking out the deals. I am not sure what the going rate is, but looks like they sell for more on the bay. May be worth someone’s time.

I need some help. i'm currently rocking KLH 6's and been getting to thinking that they lack a little punch SOMETIMES. I've owned HPM-100s in the past and thought they were a tad bright. And now I've been offered a pair of JBL L80T3s for a good price. What do you guys think about the JBLs in...

hi, this is my first post in ak. I have a chance to buy a pair of pioneer hpm 40s and a pioneer SA 708 amplifier together for 300usd. Is it a good deal? The hpm 40s are first generation btw. thanks in advance!

Doing an inventory and scanned these from May, 1981 National Lampoon Magazine.

Boy oh boy was this far more of a project than I had anticipated! I had to add small spacers between the crossover and terminal plate to allow more room for the nut and washer to tighten against the soldering washer. All in all I’m super pleased. The original binding post screws had a ton of...

This is a closeup picture of one of my HPM-100's woofer surround. This is the rubber part that attaches the cloth surround to the aluminum cast frame. As you can see, there is this white patchy substance (only on one woofer) that does not wipe off easily. Any suggestions how I might remove...

So I purchased a mint pair of HPM-100 after receiving valuable advice from fellow members on AudioKarma. I love them and am currently rocking them with my Pioneer SX-3900. I have a question regarding the famous super tweeter. It seems these almost never break and people are just unable to hear...

Greetings everyone. I'm a longtime reader, but just posting today for the first time. I recently acquired a pair of HPM-60's. According to the date codes, one is from 1978 and the other is from 1979 (which would make them the later, "Mark II" versions). The mid range and tweeter have white...

https://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions/2-Pioneer-Speakers-39698146.html Auction ends 5/21. Local Pick up only. I love mine!. They've been recapped, etc. Not original except maybe one midrange. Sitting at $9 now.

Hey everyone! I've had a tough time finding some insight and user experience between these two NAD amps. I'm currently running Pioneer HPM 100s and if I remember correctly they're 50 watts per channel. Right now I'm trading an amp and have been deciding between a used NAD 3100 and a used 3150...

I purchased a pair of Pioneer HPM 700s the other day as a project but they are missing the midrange drivers and the woofers are in a near non-reparable state. I was hoping to get some advice on how I should go about with this restoration and if it is worth restoring. I was looking at updating...

Another super rare toy.

My overstuffed, overstressed rack with a MINT SX-1980, Well Tempered Record Player w/van den hul MM2, MINT CT-F1000 w/rack ears, and RT-707. You see the corner of my MINT HPM-1500's. Did I mention everything's mint??? ;-)

Only Pioneer dealers had these. They are working models.

A picture of my Pioneer HPM 1100's the TOTL of the second HPM series made in 1981. These speakers are amazing I cannot say enough about them! They are rated for 250 wpc into 6.4 ohm. Talk about crazy speakers! :) Peter AKA Kenwood Man
