HPM-60's Worth Restoring?

FORMD · 2nd August 2005, 09:33 PM

I have just been given a pair of Pioneer HPM-60's with woofer surround rot. are these speakers worth restoring? thanks for input. FORMD

I used to have them around 1975 and really loved them. Ok, i was 13

If the volume and bass were turned high enough the air coming from the vent could extinguish a candle.

Today i would probably find them intolerable - unnatural balance, fake bass, a horror paper tweeter.

Still, they seem to have nearly cult like following in some circles.
