    Please, help to recognize these speakers

    Hello, Do you recognize these brown vintage speakers and have any info about them? There are no markings or stamps in them. The speakers sound good and withstand quite loud playing. The speakers are 10 inch and are attached to an old Finnish made tube radio made by Salora in 1953-54. Thanks...

    How to connect a vintage amp to wireless speakers

    Hi there, I am a bit afraid to post this, but here goes nothing. I have restored a Pioneer SA-508, TA-608L and a CT-F600 for a friend of mine.

    Pioneer CS99 - midrange?

    Have an old pair of Pioneer CS99s and I SO want to love them, as they easily fill my medium/large room with sound, but the mid range is so muffled & "flabby" for lack of a better word. I can feel the bass even if it's not very controlled or detailed. Highs are powerful. It's just not balanced...

    Kef Shoot Out: 107 vs 107/2

    I'm thinking of buying a pair of Kef 107s. In my searches, I see 107 and 107/2s. I thought, why don't I do something novel and find out which is best before I buy the speakers instead of afterwards? Hence, this thread. First let me give you some back ground. It seems I like large speakers...

    Jamo 704 with backplate resonation

    Hi there, I have bought a set of Jamo 704 speakers, but one of the speakers resonates on low frequencies. First thing, that filter board was loose, so I fixed hat. But the resonating did not stop. After investigating this further, I noticed that the backplate is vibrating. So that is the other...

    Hey all- For years I’ve been listening to music on my pioneer solid-state receiver SX-737, pioneer turntable PL- 530, and JBL L88 speakers. The set up looks great but the sound is only OK.

    Hi everyone - I’m posting here because individually I think my components are all good, but together my system is not making music, rather is is making bright bass less noise.

    Mission 700 LE Speakers - Rebuild/upgrade

    So my faithful Mission 700 Leading Edge speakers have a bit of foam rot going on, time to refoam. While I'm in there I thought why not upgrade/refresh the factory crossovers a bit. The crossover is very simple ; a 670uH ferrite core inductor in series with the woofer, and a second order filter...
