I have a Pioneer SX-626 Receiver and a PL-350 Turntable. The guy I bought them from threw in a pair of Sansui SP-50 speakers, which I love the look of them and the bass is pretty great, but mid-to-high range is lacking. So I've been looking to upgrade my speakers to try and get some better sound and wanted to get some Pioneer speakers to complete the set.
I'm sure better deals can be made, but there's a vintage audio place not too far away that has some CS-77A speakers for $399 (ouch!) that look spectacular. There's another local guy that has some HPM-40's who is selling for $220. That seems a little pricey too, but I'm thinking I can probably get that down.
So, really I want to know which is going to deliver the best sound for the price? I love the way the CS-77A's look and they probably pair better with my system from a time period aspect, but if the sound is going to be way better on the HPM-40's then I would probably opt for that at the lower price.
BTW - I've looked at eBay and Craigslist, and with shipping I can't say that I can get any better price...unless I decide to wait and bargain hunt.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
