What to do with these.....?

[blu_fuz]

Rode past a garage sale and rescued these Sansui vintage tower speakers and couldn't leave them behind. 10" speaker, 10" radiator, 4" midrange, and tweeter.


What is the point of a freaking 10" radiator???


Kind of interesting, but now what do I do with them?

Dude,those are gorgeous!!!!!!
I wished I had room for a full size vintage stereo in my house......

They are beautiful, that's why I had to take them home!


We can always hang these from your ceiling in your place skip, plenty of room up there! hahaha

Looks good to me. What's wrong with a 10" passive radiator? I'm sure it could easily make use of it. And at least it's a REAL passive with a coil on it, unlike the fake passive in the CS-880 that reverbs too much with the DSL on.

How much wattage can they handle? 4 ohm or 8ohm?

Those are some gorgeous speakers. I still love the wood grain speakers of the past so much better than the cheap black look nowadays.

I think they are 180w and 8ohm.



You need another stack of speakers for your place?


I agree Bill, I love the looks and SOUND that comes from vintage stereo cabinets like these.

These are the gems of old world. Why, I don't happen to come across such things?
The passive radiator must be doing the job of bass reflex port.

those must be quality woofers because you normally don't see those thick heavy baskets on cheaper speakers , those frames are pretty much standard issue for most car audio subs of the 90's in the 8/10/12/15 inch woofers.even some of the fosgate spp pro series used those same frames and those are very high end speakers from rockford.


as for the radiator , it's job is to actively double the moving mass of the active woofer, this setup is used to allow for smaller cabinet size and the radiator acts as a port to increase spl and efficiency.

I don't know if they can handle my Kenwood.

New owner just picked these up. Going to a good home! I already have 3 sets of vintage cabinets, otherwise I would have kept them.
