[QUOTE="Paul Johnson, post: 218087, member: 2643"] In the 70s, when hifi was kicking off, most of the Japanese speakers were simply what looked good with the much better electronics they made. Working with hifi at the time, the first upgrade people were advised to do that made a real impact, was new speakers. Almost anything was better. Speakers were things us Brits could do pretty well, so tannoys, Celestion and others went out of the door quickly. I took Sony speakers home to use in my studio because we just dumped them. None were good. The japanese preferred sound at that time was dreadful. My view, looking back was that they were very much pretty speakers that looked nice, with very random sound. Even their really expensive ones just were very average. B&O, known for their looks had some cracking speaker designs that sounded really good. Sony had a few slightly better ones, but not really their best products. [/QUOTE]
