Review 2 of 3
Price Paid:
$100.00
from yard sale Summary: I bought these at a garage sale. The sellers mother had stored these CS 99As in a closet for most of 30 years while her husband, the owner, was working overseas.
After he filed for divorce their daughter, who the wife now lives with, decided to sell everything he had left behind.
I paid $100 for the speakers and a SX 9000 receiver and a Pioneer PL50 turntable.
I have been collecting/repairing stereo equipment for many years. I had heard of the CS 99As but had no idea how good they are until now. I have the HPM 100s, HPM 60s, several pairs of great speakers from JBL Acoustic Research, Sansui, Infinity, KLH, and many many other great brands, but these CS 99As are the ones I choose to use most. They are my favorites out of a collection of over 30 pairs of high quality speakers.
Strengths: Sound very nice at all levels. Brings out many sounds other speakers lose. Weaknesses: They anger my neighbors. These speakers may cause me to move. Similar Products Used: JBL 100
