    Superscope S-28 (Marantz Imperial 5s???)

    Just picked these up, tweeter on one is dead (not sure why yet). They look identical to Imperial 5s, and are the exact same dimensions. The only discernible difference is the missing switch on the crossover and the Philips woofers, which I'm assuming were replaced. Anyone have any info? Are...

    SUPERSCOPE R-1240L three simple??? issues

    Dear all, I can only hope someone would be able to give me some hints, so I bought this piece, faulty, in black. It has some bulbs burned which are not particularly difficult to replace.
