RE: Speakers For Pioneer SX_626




My first real stereo in 1976 had the SX-450 ... nice.

I don't know how well it'll match really, but the guy in the other link (below) has some Triangle Titus 202s like mine that he doesn't like. They sound great to me and are sensitive enough that the 626 will drive them as loudly as you would want (unless you're in a very large room and like jet-engine levels). Actually these could use a subwoofer to fill in the lowest bass, but if you like detailed, musical sound they are excellent.

I replaced the high-pass (at 6kHz) filter cap with a $20 one and got even better sound. For about $400 plus another $300 or so for a decent sub, I think it would be a nice system.

I should clarify that I actually use 300B SET tube amps with the Tituses, never an older Pioneer receiver ... but I think they'd be worth a try!

the speakers are 2002 vintage, I bought mine new and mine show no evidence of surround issues/rot or anything. Great speakers, IMHO.

Of course if you want to keep everything 70s vintage, these aren't
