Description from the seller
Pioneer CS-790 Vintage Speaker Pair - Rare Made in France Version - 140W - Upgraded Binding Posts
Opportunity for vintage audio collectors!
This pair of Pioneer CS-790 speakers (1988-1989) is up for auction.
3-way bass-reflex speakers with a warm, powerful, and balanced sound, ideal for vintage hi-fi systems (rock, jazz, classical… deep and detailed bass!).
Technical specifications:
Power: 140 W music (DIN) / 70 W nominal
Impedance: 8 Ω
Sensitivity: 90 dB
Frequency response: 40-20,000 Hz
Original Pioneer drivers: Woofer 20 cm, midrange 77 mm, tweeter 66 mm → all in excellent condition, cones flawless with no tears, sagging, or damage!
Premium upgrade: original terminals replaced with gold-plated binding posts (compatible with banana plugs, bare wire, or spades) → better contact and signal transfer.
Dimensions: approx. 31.5 × 61.4 × 24.1 cm each
Weight: 8.3 kg each
Condition: Very good for its age (nearly 40 years). They work perfectly. Drivers and internal components in excellent condition. Only one minor cosmetic flaw: one grille has fabric torn in one corner (easy and inexpensive to repair with new acoustic fabric for ~€20-€30, or you can run them without grilles for an authentic retro look).
I include the original detachable grilles.
Real, detailed photos: front views with and without grilles, drivers, French rear label, upgraded terminals, and grille damage detail.
Perfect piece to complete a vintage setup alongside Pioneer, Marantz, Technics, etc.!
