Shakeydeal Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Looks like a bunch of cheap, mismatched drivers thrown haphazardly into a box. Big, yes. Impressed, no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevePaul Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Reminds me of a review of a pair of Sansui speakers from the early-80's. The reviewer noted: "At least you get a lot of hardward for the money"....which was their highest praise for anything about the set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being invited to an Audio King store in the Twin Cities to listen to those. They were set up in a dedicated room that seated about 30 people and it was packed. My best friend and I went. They played demo scenes from a few different movies. It was pretty wild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have quite a few speakers from that era (Klipsch and JBL) and they are all 3 way except for JBL 250's which have four drivers. No Dominators for me....

tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 To the OP, 130 db output, that is impressive. No use for it, but impressive nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard one of these not too long ago, a friend of mine was selling a pair because he moved to a smaller place.

Looked like something out of Dr. Who. Then there's the Genesis 1.2's 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
