    Finally found one to kick off this thread! The Diatone JR-911 from 1981

    The JR-911 looks pretty neat and expensive. Hopefully I can dig up more ads, they aren't easy to find in the old magazines....

    People pay big money for Diatone speakers, even more than for JBL or Pioneer or Yamaha. Not sure why

    The Diatones I've seen in photos are very nicely finished and look pretty substantial. I've got a few sets of 70's Pioneer Speakers and they're very underwhelming along with Sansui's. On the other hand I really like my Marantz HD-880's, they can take a large amount of watts. Oddly Pioneer started as a speaker company but some of the Pioneer 70's boomboxes sound better than the CS-99's, CS-66's etc.....

    The Pioneers I had in mind were the HPM series, like the HPM-100

    I had two chances to get some HPMs locally but I was grabbing some other equipment and didn't want to up my quota. I'd love to hear some, maybe one of these days....

    Found a cover sheet over on X for Mitsubishi's Jeagam Brand, some great looking stuff that looks like mid-70's?

    Wow, $4387.00 USD in todays money! Every once in awhile somebody over on Audio Karma finds a "lost" pair of high end JDM Speakers in the USA.
