I appear to have adopted
another pair of speakers
Technics SB-5010: 1979/1980 models, 10" bass drivers, cone tweeters, 93dB efficient... Should be fun to play with, could make perfect candidates for my next Doc mod project

Cool!
I once had a full Technics brochure from the late 70's and some of their stuff was fabulous. Dunno if it sounded any good but it looked gorgeous.

Picking them up tomorrow so we'll see...
Late 70's were as good as it got for the brand I think Richard, had the full 90** "studio" range for a bit - Not heard bass reproduced that well since !

You tell me this now !?
I'm a hopeless addict, not even set eyes on them yet and I'm chomping at the bit to rip all the gubbins out & get some steel in there.

Wow, nice catch, James.
I do have a soft spot for Technics speakers.
The higher-end ones look awesome, like your newbies James, but my 1st ever 'proper' speaker was a Technics SB301.
Ah --- the memories -- blimey, must have been 40 years ago --
OK, so I guess they weren't really very good, but at the time they seemed awesome.
I wouldn't mind me a pair of these in a 2nd system ....

I don't think those were
too bad Jerry... Would probably sound quite good on the end of your Nad ! The price those Trio's went for wasn't bad Doc, thats the positive side of our nations mass delusion that Jap hifi isn't very good... Many, many bargains
It's getting better with amps, people are beginning to wise up but speakers ? Unless its NS-1000 forget it.

Oops... I've managed to win another pair of speakers 5 miles from the Techies so will pick them up on the way
"Pioneer Prologue 4" - Made in France by JM Lab no less. Won 'em for £10 !
