Big a** Mitsubishi speakers, price lowered...SF Bay Area

Saw the same speakers listed for $800 last year, but now they are $450. Maybe worth a try. Diatone models go for thousands, but not sure if these are in the same class. Looks more Kabuki ....

They look like the real deal to me, I'd be arranging a listening session if they were closer.

Holy crap !! Looks like a lotta speaker there.

Not sure what OP meant about them not being in same class as Diatone..... they say Diatone right on the speaker.

 

[HH-Bham]

Should have a cat if you get those. Otherwise mice might get into the corn speakers.

I'd jump on those if they were local to me.

For posterity Diatone VS 100F

Yes, these are Diatone branded. For me, the classic Diantones ones were the ones competing with Yamaha at the time...or I should say Diatone on my wish list looks like these:

That's quite a deal on those.

Definitely kabuki.

So when are you picking them up??

Yeah those definitely have a more quality appearance. Making me wonder, would Mitsubishi put the Diatone name on kabuki stuff?

LOL...planning my route now.

Not enough space....

Heck at $17 per speaker, (assuming I'm only seeing 13 on each side?) you really can't go wrong. That's less than Parts Express.

Now that I look closer are those four ports on the left side? If so, that's still $25 each. Good deal!

In all seriousness, I'd find a way to scrounge some coin for those.

I cant believe those were sold for only $450! I have a small pair of Diatones, DS251 MKII. Im not sure that i would sell those for $450..

It looks to me like the "DS" series had higher quality and this pair is the "VS" series, which I think had shielded magnets for home theater type of application...idk....
