    HPM-100 Midranges

    Does anyone rebuild these? I may have an issue with mine and wondering if there is anyone who can rebuild them or if I have to keep watch for working ones from auction sites.

    That time The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Featured HPM-100s

    Am I the only one whose interests collided in episode 3 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier when a pair of modded HPM-100s turned up in the background? What an incredible touch from the set designers! Pioneer HPM-100s are probably the most divisive speakers ever made. Devotees love them and...

    Repairing water-damaged particle board

    I just took receipt of my parents' HPM-100's that have been thoroughly abused. Water damage, sun damage, and a few pushed-in dustcaps (one of my earliest childhood memories is the satisfying crinkle of that midrange dome as I punched my thumb into it sometime around the age of 3...) Dustcaps...

    Add powered sub or HPM-100

    Hello all, I’m new to the forum and this is my first post. Just recently got into the vintage audio stuff. Found my dads old pioneer SX-1000TW and PL-518 turntable in my shed in mint condition, turntable has a bit of wear but repairable. I bought some mint CS-99A pioneers to go with the system...

    HPM-100 Question - Input Terminals

    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...

    HPM-100 - suddenly way too much bass?

    I've has a pair of HPM-100's for over a decade. Got them cheap, refinished the cabs, rebuild the XO according to the AK recommended spec and replaced one bad driver with a part number match. I've been very happy with the sound! A few months ago, I installed a vintage tube amp. And for some...

    Pioneer HPM-100 Binding Posts Upgrade

    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...

    Pioneer HPM-60 rebuild/refurbishing

    Hey guys, I just acquired some vintage Pioneer HPM-60 speakers from Goodwill. One of the speakers works perfectly, while the other one has a blown midrange and cone tweeter. I am having some issues acquiring parts. I have been looking closely on eBay for some of the parts, but I really don't...

    This or That: Pioneer HPM-100 vs B&W DM580

    Help! I realize that these speakers are very different in design, and one predates the other by 15 years, but I have a question. A client of mine is letting me pick between a pair of HPM-100's or a pair of B&W DM580's for a holiday gift. I love the sound of the Pioneer HPM's; hard to beat...

    HPM-100 "upgraded" with HPM-60 crossover?

    I have the possibility to purchase HPM-100's. Seller says they have been "upgraded" by a pro with HPM-60 filters. Does that make sense? I have no experience with HPM series, I listen to Wharfedale Dovedale 3, Goodmans Magnum K or for more detail to DM2's.

    newby here from MS

    Greetings all from the state of Mississippi! I just recently found this forum while researching/shopping for a vintage stereo receiver and turntable. A little history: I purchased my first system at age 13 from Randy Hooper at Hooper Sound in Meridian, MS in 1978. Here is the setup including...
