Description from the seller

Excellent pair of Akai SW-TM3 speakers made in Japan in the 1980s! These compact 2-way bookshelf speakers are a classic of Japanese vintage audio. They sound very good and clean, as has been recently proven. Ideal for a retro hi-fi setup, desktop setup, shelf, or simply to enjoy a warm, nostalgic sound with a touch of the golden years of audio.
Technical specifications:
• 2-way system (16 cm woofer + 5 cm tweeter)
• Impedance: 8 ohms
• Maximum input power: 40 W
• Sensitivity: 89 dB/W/m
• Sealed enclosure
• Binding posts at the back
• Wall-mount bracket
Design and finish: Elegant silver-gray box with a black fabric grille. Clean, minimalist look typical of Akai. The original labels are intact, with the serial number identical on both speakers (81004-10737) and the indication “Made in Japan.”
Condition: The speakers are in good overall condition, with normal signs of use and age (minor nicks and wear on the edges, visible in the photos). They have been recently tested and sound very good. The drivers respond correctly and deliver a balanced and pleasing sound. Ready to enjoy without the need for immediate repairs.
They are compact speakers, easy to place and perfect for those seeking authentic Japanese vintage quality without taking up much space. A piece of 80s hi-fi history that still offers fairly decent performance!
Approximate per-speaker dimensions:
≈ 30-35 cm high × 18-22 cm wide × 15-20 cm deep.
The photos are part of the description and show the real, detailed condition of the speakers.
Ideal opportunity for collectors and vintage audio enthusiasts!
Careful and well-protected shipping.
