Re: Worth a punt.
I remember tinsel on these too, which I put down to the M55e cartridges I heard them with. Later experience shows the M55e is fairly benign up top, so it had to be the speakers.....

Re: Worth a punt.
They are the generation after the ones you have, not as good. These are the Pioneer speakers from your Akai's generation.

Re: Worth a punt.
The drivers in those ones you have linked to are not of the same quality as you have or are in that speaker in my pic above.
