technics sb-f1 speakers

[karma67]

i heard these at the weekend and was blown away by the sound these tiny speakers through out,
aluminum cabinets too,they were placed on top of a pair of Beovox MS150's which were also very impressive.
anyone else heard them?

Hi Jamie

Had the complete range, in this case the "bigger" model is indeed the better one with more weight in the bass dpt as can be expected. Be careful with the horn tweeters, they are on the fragile side and often go open in the VC. If you feel they are too agressive in the upper end check the panasonic radial caps, they will seem perfect but might read very differently from factory value.

hi,
am i right in thinking the tweeters are the same in all the models,its just the bass driver get bigger in the f3?

Indeed, the tweeter is shared between all 3 models as far as I can recall, I think I photos of all the internals if you need (need to find usb drive though).

i quite fancy a pair of F1's to go with the Dinky Aiwa microsystem i picked up,
