Why have the prices of Marantz and Sansui speakers have gone up so much? Whyyyy???
Couldnt give them away before. If they were considered junky sounding before how are they all of sudden golden sounding and collectable and people spending stupid money on them? Im at a loss of words.
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.
Having spend 3 years in Japan courtesy of my Uncle Sam . I feel confident that, at least back in the day, Japanese voiced speakers for Japanese music .
That's very interesting schubert. I have long been aware that British speakers share a voicing, one prioritizing natural vocal and instrumental timbres. Traditional Japanese instruments and music have a very different sound than does Western music, so why wouldn't their speakers be voiced differently than Western speakers?
