I have one, "kabuki".

 

[mhardy6647]

I - ahem - learned of them elsewhere.

Speakers with faces are fun!
Pictures don't tell how musical they be -
we'd need that feedback from the OP.

I have a similar pair of Sansui SP X-9900 "kabuki". Frankly they sound awful with a complete lack of bass although they are gaining value steadily. I just hook them up for classical and have to pair them up with a pair of advent for rock.

Flashback to the Army in 1986... one of my roommates had a pair of these on top of his desk hooked to a cheapie Technics receiver. The other had a pair of Pioneers with led meters on his desk. OMG.

The only word that comes to mind when I look at those speakers is 'hideous'.

Shiny with an air grate/hamster cage feature. What's not to like?

Never knew Yamaha made kabuki.I'll take them.Put them in my garage and stretch them like they've never been stretched.One a side note I've had a few pair of kabuki speakers and now have seen that they have gone up quite a bit in value just like all vintage.$200 for a pair is common.I used to pick them up for$20 use them for awhile and sell for $50.

oh my! now those some awesome looking speakers.

Phhht. That's nothing. I posted these on AA a couple of years ago. What is hard to convey in the photo is the massive size of these monstrosities. The woofers were at least 18 inches. The whole speaker came up at least 4.5 feet AND when it was turned on, the whole thing pulsated with LED lighting. If they had one with green accents I would buy it for my Borg friends.

I find them strangely attractive.

As did I in the same way I found the 1981 Turbo Trans Am attractive. At least I knew enough not to buy the speakers.

My Favorite speaker faces were always Westlake monitors ...

 

[llwhtt]

At least Westlakes sound good, I know my BBSM-6s did.

All I can think of is Ren (of Ren and Stimpy).

But there's another cartoon character with lips that stick out...if only I could remember it.
