Pioneer CS-99a speakers-vintage/specs ?
 

Does anyone know the vintage year and specs (efficiency rating) of the
Pioneer CS-99a speakers ?

I've had about 10 pairs of different vintage speakers so far- and these
by far have the heaviest cabinets and thickest board used to make the
cabinets- they also have removeable backs which is a nice plus. As
usual, finding info on these on the net is difficult, as most places
want to sell you a vintage audio "bible" to get the info.

any help appreciated- thanks

Why are removable backs a plus? If the speaker fixings are
accessible from the front, that's fine. A sealed back would seem
superior, if anything.

You don't have to remove the woofer to get at the adjustable
crossovers- and the backs are countersunk on the edges, for a really
tight fit. Also to get at the speaker wire connections to each driver,
a removeable back makes it much easier, than pulling each driver out.

Well, OK. But why would you need adjustable crossovers or access to
the wiring unless you were changing drivers?

You need adjustable crossovers while changing drivers ?? What you said
is a red herring argument.

Changing drivers- if you never had to change out at least a tweeter,
you haven't been listening to music very much, or very long. I've
changed tweeters in many speakers, and mids- and my main speakers just
had the woofers changed out for bad surrounds, under the lifetime
warranty. Those lasted 20 years, I bought them in 1986.

I had to cut open a speaker that was sealed and glued together once, to
change the crossover cap- because I was changing out a bad tweeter and
could not get to it from the front.

see ??

Here's a wild idea but it just might work!
Have you tried *not* overloading every speaker you've owned?

back in the good old days, "receiver wars" of the 1970-80's,
overloading speakers was a way of life

I don't do that anymore, with 8 watts per channel and a single ended
pentode dual-monoblock tube amp

but the surrounds will still dry rot and crack- and crossover caps will
deteriorate- so removing the back makes total sense

not to mention upgrading with baffles or insulation

why build a machine that can't be serviced ? that's like welding the

If you want to be smart-ass, at least come up with a possible one :-)

You were commenting to my post, not the original one.

You REALLY don't know the colonials call the car bonnet a hood? Or
that you non-convertible doesn't have a hood at all? C'mon :-)

Of course I was commenting on your post - otherwise I would not have
replied to it.

Yup - I do. But as this is a UK news group, I decided to play the UK
vocabulary card. If I were in a US group, I would always call the
bonnet the hood, just out of good manners.

Oh right. When you said:"Sorry, no idea what this question means" you
were lying for effect. Understood.

No, that was the literal truth. I have absolutely no idea what "What
hood then?" means, particularly in context.
