what a name - AKAIWA
retro - 2012-10-01 08:04
Interesting find, thats a new one to me. 
lav.loo - 2012-10-01 08:22
the name akaiwa is obviously a rip off from akai aiwa lol, looks to be lasonic 90s edition?
metad - 2012-10-01 08:52
yep, Retro that's a rare one, the same as Atlanta AT-1000, you won't find them in the US.
deliverance - 2012-10-01 08:54
like the look of that.

obviously a rip off from akai aiwa lol
Yeah, they could name it panasharp or something like this

the atlanta is cool metad never seen that before
akaiwa not very original is it...those rounded edges on them 3rd gen lasonics makes them look like they`ve been out in the sun too long

i agree Bison the rounded edges take that cool sharp 80s look away, things seemed to shift in the rounded direction once the 90s dawned, shame

at the meet lav i was surprised at the difference in build quality between docs`s lasonic and a unisef..so much so i left the unisef in the car
lav.loo - 2012-10-11 14:46
ha ha ye there is a little difference, but the unisef defo looks just as cool and has decent sound. i prefer the unisef over the crown, the blue colour scheme looks nicer than the green, quiet gutted i ever let mine go
