capo72 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Sansui? SP-300 maybe? They sure look cool, but how do they sound. Especially sitting in the shadow of the mighty Cornwall. I've found a few different speakers that I thought sounded good, until I A,B'ed with my Cornwalls. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed, they are Sansui SP-300 from 1968-69. Three-horn, all Alnico speakers sourced from Coral. They need new caps badly, but they sound pretty good even now. The new caps go in next weekend, and then off they go to a child of mine, but I'm having fun with 'em now. Paul: Nice doggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfsBane Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Back in the mid 1970s, I used to own 2 pairs, (4 each), of these babies... the SP X8000. For that era, they used to put out a fantastic sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodcaw boy Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 boy memories!!! my first "serious" speakers were the SPX-9000 (i think). they sounded good and they were my first "horn" speakers although i had no idea what they were. i bought them cause my uncle told me that sensitivity was just as important as freq response and that is what i was looking at when i was speaker shopping. that was back in 1976; i was just a freshman in high school but i had the bug seriously. i bought them and two technics turntables, sl models from a catalog (i still have one of the turntables). wow i remember hearing boston and styx thru them for hours. thanks for the pixs that took me down memory lane. have a blessed day, roy delgado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfsBane Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I was just a young wet-behind-the-ears Airman at Alconbury RAF when I bought mine. Besides the speakers, I also had a Pioneer receiver, Technics turntable, Akai reel to reel, a tape deck and a Reverb, (don't remember the brand), and a timer that would turn everything off at night, and turn everything back on in the morning. On an Airman's basic pay back in those days, it took me a little while to get everything... JBLs, Pioneer, and Bose speakers were pretty popular on the base back in those days. AR was also starting to make a move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
