They still work great and will shake the house at high volume.  |
When I was in Korea we all had Sansui and Pioneer speakers and I thought they sounded great, especially for what I paid. I eventually blew out the Pioneers in the 80's back when I had a record store and they were in use all day and at loud volumes at times.
I had bought these Sansui's in the photo in 1984 for my home, they're still going strong after 36 years of use. I think the big ones were $300 and the shorter ones were $200, so that $1,000 for the four brand new in a stereo store. I just saw a pair sell for $100 on eBay but you have to pick them up yourself.
