Maxell Hi-Fidelity 1983 The classic guy and his hi-fi Wagner tape

At the point you begin to question your sanity...

Hmmm 🤔

Why records are better than CDs in the streaming age Vinyl is the most popular way to buy music and that's a good thing.

RIP John Mayall...a great musician...

This early record from 1966 was one of my first "must have" albums...

Pioneer HPM-100
('76-'79) $1250 (one owner, pristine)

Obtained from the estate of the original owner, this pair of Pioneer HPM-100 are in pristine cosmetic condition and 100% fully operational. Both tweeters have been replaced with the exact clones as the original Pioneer drivers (made by Midwest Speakers with the exact values, dimensions and cosmetics). Also included are one extra original (working) tweeter and one extra pair of the original (working) Pioneer #30-733A-1 woofers. This pair is the 100-watt version.
The cabinets are damage-free, no scratches, no dings. The grills and material are also perfect.

The Pioneer HPM-100 is a 100 watt, 4-way, 4-speaker bass-reflex system with a 12" carbon fiber blend woofers, 4" mids, 1.8" tweeters and high polymer super tweeters.

The HPM-100s were built by former JBL engineers to do one thing, and that was to be a better sounding speaker than the JBL L100. Almost everybody believes they admirably did a great job. True...that's saying a lot, but this is the general consensus among many people in the Hi-Fi Industry. These speakers have just the right balance and warm tones. These are amazing sounding speakers.

Whenever the Pioneer HPM-100 is working 100% like this pair, they sound remarkable! The depth of the sound is incredible....breathtaking sounding speakers. With the right amp, you can expect rich concert realism and...if so desired...a thunderous soundstage to either annoy your neighbors or to get evicted from your apartment.
