unknown (at least for me) sony speakers, help!

facundonu · 19th April 2006, 06:38 AM

hi, i'm from argentina and new here.
i'm about to buy or build some speakers and i've seen a pair of sony speakers on the internet at a very good price, but the guy doesn't have any specs to give me about them.
all he knows is that they were built in the 80's, there are 2-way and they can manage up to 30WRMS (wich is enough for the amp i built, using one LM1876TF).
these are the 2 very poor pictures he shows:

knowing you are quite audio fanatics, i wondered maybe somebody has seen this model and know something about them, about their specs, and about the way they sound.

thanks a lot!

by the way, this the add i'm looking.

Don't do it,Sony never made a speaker worth too much.I've owned a few and seen many from the 70s through say 2000.And of them not a one was better than say a JVC(cough,cough)speaker,Kenwood(Ahem,ahem)speaker or later Technics(Oi)speakers.Really lowfi stuff even for the money.Speakers like that are garage sale stuff like 10 bucks US for pair.Keep looking or even better build your own.

thanks a lot!!

my idea is to build a pair myself, but if i find a good set at a good price...

I think it might be risky buying them as the grill is obscuring your view.

Also, I'm with bickeler, They don't look much better than those $10 swap meet type.

Sony never made a speaker worth too much.

According to the date stamp on those photos they were taken next year!

bickeler · 20th April 2006, 04:15 AM

Ok so they made one,I stand corrected.But 90 percent of their stuff is Low-Fi consumer product(Speakers not gear) headed for Best Buy or Sears.And has been for a very long time.

I don't know if sony actually made those drivers, yet...Check the date on the photos, they are from the FUTURE! No wonder they look so impressive.

Oh, and the one's in the original post are most definitely poo.
