Why have the prices of Marantz and Sansui speakers have gone up so much? Whyyyy???

Well I rather like my old lattice grille Sansui speakers. Admittedly, they're all garage sale or Craigslist items of questionable parentage and minimum cost but given good tube amplification they can sound glorious. that doesn't mean that I don't avoid fancy pants speakers, it just means that I don't delude myself that you must spend a boatload or it can't sound good. I've had plenty of expensive gear that wasn't all that great.My old Sansui speakers are fun. That's the whole idea.

Perhaps I should proofread once in a while.

@ yogiboy, Hi, I wouldn’t sale my vintage gem receiver for any price! I’m not sure how much experience in audio you have , although this is not my video, my unit sounds as good and looks as good, I’ve compared it to some over priced junk like rega osiris $10,000.00 integrated amplifier, etc... and other $15,000.00 any thing amplifier’s, yes my main amplifier is better, but then again, I have the only modified krell 700cx out there, by advice of Dan D Agostino on what to do, And all work done by Krell factory, any way, here is the video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gf5hU_FQz4k

It’s just like the muscle car fad that had it’s zenith 10 years ago. They aren’t faster, better performing, safer, more comfortable, reliable or arguably better looking than today’s cars. Each generation goes through this when they reach about 50.

I do agree that japenesse speaker's of the 70's are crap, someone here said they were voiced for their music at the time, true,  they all were better known as kubuki speaker's,  I hate them,  I sold the best of Sansui, yamaha,  technics,  pioneer, Marantz,  etc, all them multiple drivers, power meter' s, 15" woofer's are incredibly junk!, got decent money for them,  to me,  I thought they were the worst speaker's I've encountered.
