Pioneer HPM-100 Speakers Vintage 1970s Hifi Audiophile JBL SPEC high end retro. This is a very nice pair of pioneer HPM-100 speakers with original purchase receipt! Still have the original purchase receipt of £339.95 dated 23/01/1979 This is a very clean and original pair of pioneer HPM-100 speakers, there are a few imperfections here and there, the odd mark to the cabinets but you be hard pressed to find a better pair of Hpm-100, these really do look incredible The sound produced from these speakers is superb! They sound exactly has they should, no rattles or distortion, all 4 drivers in each cabinet are fully functioning as are the level controls for the mid range and tweeter. The centre cap on on of the tweeters and one midrange on one of the speakers has been poked in but it doesn’t effect the operation or sound quality in any way, it’s purely cosmetic but worth mentioning, as otherwise these speakers are in perfect condition The cabinets are very clean and solid, there is NO parting of the wood om these speakers, they have been stored in a dry living room their entire lives so they are as solid as the day they left the factory, there are a few small marks here and there but overall they look fantastic, they really do look like they could of been purchased new a year ago but they where actually purchased new 44 years ago! These are the original 100w version, superior to the later 200w models. Pioneer realised back in the 1970s that they had wildly underrated the power handling ratings of the hpm-100 and as a result where loosing sales from people choosing to purchase other speakers with a higher rated power handling figure so pioneer simply doubled the rated power handling and put a plastic accent ring around the bass port, it’s common knowledge that pioneer did nothing to improve power handling in the 200w version, they are exactly the same…. What’s not so common knowledge however is that pioneer actually started to cut costs and find ways to produce the speakers cheaper as time went on, that magnets on the drivers got smaller the cabinets got lighter list the internal bracing and had thinner padding materials for sound damping. This is the original HPM-100(A) with the larger magnets heavier cabinet construction with internal bracing and proper materials inside for sound damping unlike the later 200w B and C variants. Here’s a few videos of these speakers https://youtu.be/BDTqfRx7m9g https://youtube.com/shorts/6g5gpUD0DDM?feature=share The auction is for the pair of pioneer HPM-100 speakers only the Aiwa AX-6800 receiver in the pictures will be listed in a separate auction soon Demonstration will be provided upon collection, Any questions please feel free to ask

Welcome to my auction. This is one pair of equipment for the speaker ports on the PIONEER Model HPM 100 stereo speakers (may also fit other models in this Series). These Vari-Q port plugs originally had closed cell foam between the circular discs. Once the foam plug was inserted into the speaker port - it would seal the port - changing the speaker housing from being a Ported Cabinet to a Sealed Cabinet. This means that it can work in a closed and open system. All Vintage electronic devices are sold AS IS and have no warranty of any kind. The buyer accepts responsibility for all repairs, renovations and refurbishments of any equipment purchased. Returns will not be accepted for this product. This pair or Vari-Q gear is in very good condition and quite rare. The photos are taken by me and show the authentic condition. The subject of the Auction are the PIONEER Bass Plugs themselves.

just so your aware I will be available for collection mon/tues after the auction but i go away wed 17th till the following mon 22nd then i am free for the rest of the weekI bought the speakers and receiver in the 1970s new from Stuart Westmoreland in Derby, I do still have the receipt for them. Also the instruction manual for the receiver. Neither have been used for 15 years, the speakers just used as lamp stands, I am now downsizing so it’s time for them to go. I have connected it all up and as far as I can tell everything is working fine, AMAZING !!! the only issue was when I was cleaning then ready to photo I caught a wire on the tweeter, I have resoldered it back on and it seems & sounds fine as you can see in the pic phew lol. but I am very cautious of selling them due to their age and not having regular use for a number of years, so I am selling them as collection only, and I would want the buyer to have a listen to confirm your happy with it all b4 you pay and take them away, hence the reason for selling it all together as one cant be tried/listened to without the other. Then it would be sold as seen if you’re happy. Like I say it’s all very old [aprox 45 years] so could last a month of heavy use or another 45 years who nos. prob a good idea to have it all serviced/checked over after purchase.You may wonder why I am so weary about selling them so to try and explain, I have been selling unwanted items for many years for a few quid on eBay and accidentally things do go wrong possibly damage in the post or the item even with my best intentions isnt up to expectations, so when things are only a few pounds its easily resolved, how ever with this lot it would cost alot to send as they are very heavy plus they are 45 yrs old and yes at the mo work fine but if they were driven hard without a service who knows how long they will last and with them costing hundreds of pounds I would understand the disappointment but from my point of view I dont want any come back so its basically a gamble for the winner. So happy bidding, I have been as upfront and honest about it all as I can.
