seti Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 I have a friend who wants to scrap most of his audio gear and start over with some Heresey's. The intent is to watch AG and ebay till he can spot a pair a little under $400 which is doable you just need patience. The first thing he wants to sell are these strange pioneer speakers (image attached) there are 4 of them so my guess is that it was suposed to be part of a late seventies quadrophic system. I have heard these and they don't sound good to me all mid/hi. I was wondering if they could be collectable to pioneer fans if so where do they hang? Any advice appreciated. thanks Quote
Bill H. Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 Welcome to the nut house. Your friend can either sell them on Ebay, or try selling them to this place.......... http://www.oaktreeent.com/Stereo_Speakers.htm As you stated, by taking his/her time a Pair of Heresys should be do able.........good luck.

seti Posted December 26, 2004 Author Posted December 26, 2004 Thanks I would feel bad trying to sell them here I mean they really sound awful.Part of the problem is we don't know exactly what they are or where to set the reserve. They make nice little tables and a good conversation piece but the second you listen to them you think ah thats crap then. Quote
bkrop Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 Some folks over at Audiokarma.org LOVE that 70's SS stuff, you might try over there! Quote
boom3 Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 These look like they could be part of Pioneer's HPM series, which used a polymer diaphram to create omnidirectional sound. Even if they're not, I bet he could find a sucker, er, I mean buyer, over at Audio Aslyum. There is still a quadrophonic cult out there and somebody would probably snap those up. Not to mention the electronics. Many folks (myself included) miss our battleship Pioneer receivers of the early 80s. Quote
Shade Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 Not speaker related, but is that receiver a sx-1980? If so, that thing was a monster. Quote
