Hi have a Sansui au 717
I am looking for speakers for my sansui au 717 vintage or modern which do you recommend
I like vintage room is 7mx5m and I like rock and hip hop

Too many to pick from. Since you like vintage, better to get an idea of what is available in you area and buy the best of them. Since you gave room size in metric, guessing not in the US so US made speakers might not be as available as some brands from countries near you.

no I live in Belgium, but I have no idea witch are great can you help me ti choose the wright ones

Post your query in our "Speakers" forum and direct it to our European members. There's plenty of vintage speakers that would be more readily available to you...nd no doubt you'll get plenty of suggestions.

And, by the way...welcome to AK!

You’ll need to mention a budget, speakers range from $80 to $200,000+

Speakers are expensive/difficult to ship. You want to search locally. See what is available in your area then ask questions about what you find.

Cerwin Vega.

If you can find them at a decent price and in good condition....Snell Speakers.
Great vintage speakers that pair well with lots of gear.

https://www.hifi-archiv.info/ has sales flyers for vintage gear and since it is a European site it has a lot of gear that was available in Europe but not in the US. Also has some US flyers. But something you can look through and use for research on vintage speakers.

What brands do you see offered in Belgium?

If you look hard enough, most stuff is available in Belgium!
Currently restoring a pair of AR2ax's - might be of interest when they're finished?



Also German kit; Telefunken, Grundig & Isophon all make good vintage gear!

Maybe ADS 570 speakers... To my ears they have a lively sound that works well for rock stuff and can often be found for cheap.

I'm currently restoring a pair of AR2ax, and also a pair of B&W DM14. Both would suit your amp and room size.
2dehands is where I find most of my speakers.

Sometimes you can be lucky, and pick up a bargain!

Keep an eye out for a pair of JVC SX-911's, they seem to come up quite often in Belgium. They have the advantage of having that 70's vintage look, but with some impressive late 80's speaker tech Just be careful when picking them up, as they are almost 30kg each!
