Technics SB X300 Vintage Speakers - 34 Year Old Foam!

Cool! I got some SEAS speakers from my granddad and i think they are about the same age as these. The Seas tweeter is lovely! and the 8.5 inch woofer has extreme xmax it seems :P

I found a pair in perfect condition in a pawn shop for like $70

damn. those are NOICE! possibly one of the best looking pairs of speakers I've seen! are the drivers nice or are they typical vintage - well made but small ish components?

Uau. 34 Year old. Nice build and sounds.

foam lasts long if u keep it from off sunlight and heat

Love old 3 way floor standing speakers, they have a certain charm to them i think, nowadays they're all thin with 5inch drivers..

Nice

Lovely vintage speakers! I always wanted a pair of these "Honeycomb" speakers :3

I recently got a pair of Sony APMs with the flat square drivers. Would be fun to test them next to each other :-)

wow sound incredible!

These are real common here in the US. I had some smaller metal honey comb speakers w/ the same tweeter

god damn those things have WAY to much perceived value in them just screaming 80s garbage i wonder if Technics ever did put money into those speakers or if it was at the time where they didnt care.

I'm listening to this sound quality test on my own SB-X300's and I gotta say they sound pretty good.

i'm having a problem with the overload protector board on the front...
when playing at normal volume the tweeter makes crackling noises and randomly shuts off but the volume is not even loud. it happens with the both speakers... the only thing i hear is the Bass driver and the midrange driver. When pushing the protector button for a while it stops and it works good again but after a while it starts giving crackling noises from the tweeter...

How tf? How the cones be flat?

The ones I bought in '85 didn't have the tweeter knob.

Did you manage to find replacement foam? I have the same issue with mine. If so where did you find it?

How did the wife let you set this system up it absolutely brilliant

did you ever get them refoamed? if you did, was it different than refoaming any other speaker?

I have sb-500x. This speaker work perfectly in amplifier analog. With audio digital is not a better choice.

Hi
They are better than x210???
I found a pair x210 like new...
Please answer..

Small JVC in the back...

Yep ... that’s a Technics!!

i have a pair, how'd you set this up i have no idea? cheers

Very well maintained usually this kind of speaker don't last anyway I think Japanese speaker brand yamaha NS 1000m is best in the 80s toward 90s

Is it rotting now?

dam like 40yrs old built to last look like it just brand new from the some now this days so high tech back then

whats the song
