Hi,

Very nice.
I have myself one pair HPM-100 in just as good condition as yours (judging from your pics). Well built speakers.

Hi, Robcrx

Shure, I can put up some pictures. My speakers is in a storage so it will take a week or so. Then we can admire our speakers.

Love it! And they look amazing!

Just fired up my HPM-60's for the first time in months, and I was blown away... Again... (Recently bought a 310 sub and 290 satellites from MBQuart from ~1990, but I like the HPM's sound way better! (but didn't do a side-by-side comparison yet))

Are the HPM-100's always 200W or are the 'old' ones with a foam surround less powerful?
I drive my HPM-60's (30Wrms, foam surround) with a 100Wrms amp, and they love it. Going by this, you'd need a 600Wrms amp

those are beautiful

, its hard to find old gear in that good of shape.

What do you drive them with?

I have a pioneer PL-518, SX780, HPM 60 setup in my room and a PL-540 SX1250 HPM100 in the man cave.

Hi,

A few pics of my HPM-100 as promised.

Not the best quality due to bad ligtning ( a bulb popped) and I'm no good using flash.

you must be a proud owner of those beauties , very nice , how is the sound

i was looking and thinking of JBL , after reading the article i see why

Those really are beautiful speakers in amazing condition!

Pioneer really was pursuing JBL in those days and the styling shows a lot of similarites. Looks like very nice oiled Walnut.

Enjoy!
