    Vintage Pioneer CS99A speaker versus new designs

    Pioneer made a speaker during the 70's and 80's known as CS99A. It weighed about 100 lbs. and was a 6 speaker 5 way design. It used a 15 inch woofer and a horn tweeter and handled 100 watts. I always was amazed at the sound they produced. I was never able to afford a pair back them but they were what I always compared speakers against.

    I am wanting to build a set of 3 way Dayton RS speakers. The designs I am looking at are 1. Veritas (Wayne J design on the PE site and using one of his alternate tweeter designs), 2. Khanspires (on this site using CJD's crossover), 3. WMTW Center & TMWW Mains (on this site using CJD's crossover), and 4. The large 3 way MTMWW (on this site using CJD's crossover).

    What can I expect from one of these designs above? I am leaning towards design #4 above. Does anyone have experience with the Pioneer CS99A and with the new designs to relate them to me.

    Thanks for your help and time.

      Vintage, new, or somewhere in the middle??

      I'm just about to finish up some ER18 speakers I'm building. My plan is to put these in my basement for music only. I've been told these are fairly efficient, and can be driven w/ anywhere from 50w/ch up to 150+w/ch (obviously higher is better is what I've been told).

      My original plan...

      Edit: well dang, Shawn must have gotten in touch with Al. I see he posted to another thread and introduced himself. I'll leave this one up anyway. Maybe we can get a "guru chat" going.

      Vintage stuffs vs. Behringer A500
      by Raptor550
      I was wondering is some of the people around in the 70's could give me some feedback. Basically its past Hi-Fi vs. modern day Mid-Fi. (midfi in relation to the super expensive gear that is.)

      Currently I have a Pioneer SA-7500 40w cont. x4. and a Kenwood KA-7100 60W per Channel x4 with a+b....

      Vintage Bang and Olufsen Recycle build

      Objective:
      Well I am itching for a build and have these lying around and want to do something with them. The surrounds on the drivers are shot, and the crossover parts are 40 years old. I am thinking of reusing the cabinets and building a 3-way or something that will go down fairly low. I will...
