Technics SB-7 Honeycomb Disc Speaker System – Pair of vintage Hi-Fi speakers Made in Japan

For sale: an original pair of Technics SB-7 Honeycomb Disc Speaker System, produced in Japan by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. and belonging to the prestigious Honeycomb Disc series, among Technics’ most interesting high-fidelity creations from the late seventies to the early eighties.

The SB-7 are 8 Ω three-way speakers, characterized by the famous Honeycomb Disc technology, developed by Technics to achieve membranes that are extremely rigid and light. The woofer and midrange diaphragms are made with a sophisticated aluminum honeycomb sandwich structure (Honeycomb), inspired by aerospace panels: a design solution intended to reduce resonances and deformations, enhancing precision, dynamics and transient response.

The system uses a 30 cm Honeycomb Disc woofer, a Honeycomb Disc midrange, and a refined rectangular ribbon tweeter, a rare and highly appreciated solution among audiophiles for its fast transient response and the naturalness of the high end.

The speakers also retain the original mid and high frequency adjustment controls and the Technics integrated protection circuit, elements that testify to the high design quality of the series.

This pair has always belonged to my private collection and has been used exclusively in a domestic environment. The speakers are completely original and have never been repaired, modified, or tampered with.

The cosmetic condition is very good, with light and physiological signs of wear compatible with their age. The original labels, serial numbers and all original construction elements are present.

Due to a relocation to another city, the last operating test dates back to about a year ago, when both speakers were functioning perfectly. It is currently not possible to repeat the test, as I no longer have a compatible Hi-Fi setup. For fairness to buyers, this circumstance is explicitly stated.

Given the nature, weight and dimensions of the speakers, the sale is strictly for in-person pickup in Palermo (Sicily, Italy).
