    Pioneer CS-616 speakers - worth it repairing?

    Hi all, I know it might come down to personal opinion, but bear with me. I just got a pair of Pioneer CS-616 speakers for £165 including shipping. Thing is, they got damaged in transit. They seem to be working fine, apart from one of the tweeter cones being pushed in and coming unglued...

    Vintage system builds

    Hey everyone I am interested in what you guys have in the way of vintage receivers and speakers. Lets keep the time frame from 1970 to maybe 1983. It seems after that the quality of the builds kinda went down. I just picked up a kenwood kr6400 for 100 bucks. It is flawless built I believe...
