Name: Vintage Pioneer CS 77A // Speakers / Owner's Manual
Brand: Pioneer
SKU: 7993584877789
Availability: OutOfStock

The Pioneer CS line from the early '70s has a nearly cult-like following. A step down from the flagship, the CS-77A is a 4-way model with a small multicell horn for the super tweeter. The CS-77A are known for good, flat response, with a healthy bottom end. This particular pair is in excellent condition, the caps are showing good ESR, and the original fretwork grille frames are completely unmolested. As always, we've refreshed the woodwork, but about the only cosmetic issue we could find is some light discoloration of the fabric on one of the grilles. These really are a stunning pair.

Liner Notes

The Pioneer CS-77A is a bookshelf type system, perfect for compact quarters, that handles a full 65 watts of music input but can be used with a relatively small power amplifier. The enclosure is made of genuine walnut, hand finished, and a pleated saran grille cloth and grille gives the distinctive look of fine furniture.
