I am a new member, I have 3 good receivers. A sansui g-9700, a kenwood kr-9600 and a kenwood kr-9050. I have 3 pairs sansui sp-x9000 speakers and 2 pair of 300 and 350 watt kenwoods. I have read that the sansui's do not have very good sound, they kick the kenwoods butt! I have been reading alot about pioneer's hpm-100 -200 watters. Are they really that good of speaker? I also understand you can throw anything at them. Do they make anything new at a good price that will compete with these vintage speakers using with my receivers? I am 47 and still like it LOUD, THANKS FOR ANY INFO THAT WILL HELP ME!
