Minding my own business this weekend, reading classified ads, and I found one for 1977 Sansui bookshelf speakers. I figured I'd be looking at a pair of SP-30 or something, but check out what I found. I haven't taken photos yet but they're identical to these:

Each contains one 6.5" F-101 alnico magnet full range driver. The enclosures are real plywood covered in vinyl (why?). Nicely lined with acoustic damping material (looks like felt)
The Kumiko grills are miniature, and plastic.
The sound is good considering their size and age. Not too much high or low end, like you'd expect from single drivers, but they do a good job for something so simple.
Anyone know anything about these? What were they sold for? I can't find a single ad, or brochure.
