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

I hated those damn things…screechy crap, but used by everybody.

Vintage audio is a fad right now that seems to be growing. Everybody wants to be a flipper too and price things like they are funding their retirements. People do also collect those terrible sounding speakers because they think 'kabuki' is cool or fun. People fill their garages and shops with the things in stacks.

Very simple, old folks buy things they could not afford that they wanted in their youth . Elderly comfort food .My KLH 17’s even sound good !

Why would you want these way bellow average speaker that sound like garbage.

I would never pay the current asking price on the Pioneer CS-63DX speakers currently offered online. I purchased a pair of them in 1970 (in the Navy on Okinawa, so highly discounted). Nor any of the other Pioneer or Sansui models of that vintage. Great pieces of furniture that played music however.
