Review 1 of 23

Price Paid:  $213.00 from Ebay

Summary:
This model of speaker (SP 3700) has two sets of twin horn tweeters, a midrange, and a woofer. One tweeter pair shoots its sound out of the top of the cabinet. These speakers are amazing, and have the best sound for classical music and opera I have ever heard. They are smaller than Klipschorns, but have the same quality of sound. This model only marketed in Japan, an not made in large quantities. They sound better for opera, jazz, classical, and non death-metal music than my SP Z911 ste I was using previously. I have set up a pair of SF-1 speakers in the back of the room, and have tried several amp and receivers with this combo, all of which sound better than they did with any other speaker.

Strengths:
Absolutely amazing soundstage and treble reproduction.

Weaknesses:
I own the only set I have ever seen, I would love to have another pair

Review 2 of 23

Price Paid:  $0.00 from more like found at:

Summary:
I was taking out the trash one day and i found a pair of sansui sp-z7s just sitting next to the dumpster. there was no one around so i threw them in the back of my jeep and took off. both the mid ranges didnt work so i replaced them but everything else works like mint. no scratches on the boxes, no foam rot, the only thing bad with them was the mid ranges. i use them now at college, point them out the window and rock my whole quad with them all night. they are the best speakers i have ever owned and cant find anything better. i also found a pair of Ohm model E speakers a few weeks later at the same place, these speakers are in 100% working order and are in mint condition.

Review 3 of 23

Price Paid:  $60.00 from AAFES

Summary:
SP ZPII- 6 spkr 5 way-AWESOME speaker for the money. I was torn between these and the DBX soundfield I's. The "HOT" BOSE 501 series couldn't come close to sound quality in their best dream. For the price these are speakers without peers. Peak power is 320w/ spkr and when driven with the Yamaha M-80 amp in conjuntion with a DBX 4 and Carver C-9, they couldn't sound better. After 17 years of Hard rockin abuse they look and sound just as good as the day they were purchased. Even after bouncing around the world with a military man for 10 of those years.

Review 5 of 23

Summary:
I have had the sp-z7's for almost twenty years. I have had several stereos powering them throughout the years and never bought new speakers because I couldnt find any that sound better. With my current setup and DBX range expander the sound is exquisite. Too bad they dont manufacture them anymore or I'd buy another set.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 balanced interconnects Review

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
