Welcome to the site. Unfortunately, this particular site is a bit weak on vintage nuts although for everything else it's pretty durn good.

For more vintage oriented forums, you might want to explore http://www.audiokarma.org and http://www.audioasylum.com.

You'll find people there who think it's still 1975. This place is more into HT and general audio.

Again welcome. Y'all come back now, hear?.

Hey, never say anything you own isnt fancy!
You dissing your own stuff before I'm dissing it. No! your technics gear is fine. If you enjoy it then its fine. In fact, I got an old technics at home that my dad bought bout 20 or so years ago. It served us well (until the stylus broke on the turntable and we never used it ever since and my dad never replaced it for some strange reason). What matters is that you are happy with it (and it looks like you are).

Marty01; the first place you start is with the model number for your search. I would follow the advice some of the other members have given you for our search including AUDIOREVIEW.COM here on those speakers. I would try the REVIEWS section on speakers in the category you think your speakers belong to(bookshelf, floorstanding etc.).
Also type in the search area at the top the model number for discussions and products.

I remember when Technics first produced loudspeakers in the 70s. They sounded quite good in comparison to lots of others out there at that time for the price. They have put out for the price some pretty darn good floor standing units of which I would have used myself. Sometimes good things come in cheap packages.

Once you find the specs, what are you going to do with it? If is is not to your likeing, will you buy something else? Or just curious? Either way, it won't matter much now :)

You're welcome. I found it when I was looking for info on a pair of speakers that my dad bought me when I was a kid.

It was cerated for their more upscale products. Not unlike how Infiniti and Lexus were created for Nissan snd Toyota.

So Technics was created as the "high end" panasonic? What's that say for Panasonic...

just kidding. I hear some of the technics stuff can be pretty good, although I've never heard any.
