Spider27 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) SOLD Item: Vintage Pioneer Speakers with Sonic Block Stands Location: VIC 3030 Price: 90 Item Condition: GOOD Reason for selling: NLR Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Do not know the model number but my guess is that it is early CS series from 1960's so vintage speaker. The drivers and tweeters are fantastic condition but cabinets has marks and scratches. Given the age, it is still amazing condition. I put extra virgin olive oil on surface teak veneer to nourish them and it looks lovely to look at. I got these pair of speaker to understand how vintage speakers sound and to my surprise, it was not muddy or overly bright at all but sound slightly warm side of neutral. The bass is big and punch and mid and high has enough details without fatigues. By putting wooden sonic block underneath (not a looker and has worn out look but it makes noticeable difference), it makes bass tighter and more neutral to me. The Sound block made up of wooden veneer on top, several layers of plywood underneath and granules inner core. Not sure how it works but it somehow absorb excessive bass and work as bass trap. Even though I love vintage stuff, my wife and kids are not fond of vintage stuff so they are not welcomed by rest of my family. Hope it goes to good home and be loved and well used. Thanks for viewing this ad... Dimension of each speaker: 28cm wide 23cm deep 61cm tall. Bass driver: 8" in Size Pictures: Edited November 19, 2018 by Spider27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am actually half mind on this one because that sonic block makes quite a bit of difference and it would be a great desktop stand for bookshelf speaker, too. I found that it absorb excessive vibration from the speaker and makes sound more balanced and found great match for this Vintage Speaker. I would be happy to keep the stand if the buyer does not want it and might offer better price on speaker itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
