A guy locally is selling a pair of Sony Speakers, biwireable if that helps point to a particular model, that he claims were made by B&W, now, my second ‘proper ‘ pair of speakers back in about 1970 were B&W, and I’ve always been interested in what they manufactured, but have never heard of them doing anything for Sony...?

They most certainly did. I have two different pairs, but can’t remember the model numbers right now - one is a Sony branded version of B&W DM2’s (I think.) when I get time I’ll check, but my two pairs aren’t very big, large bookshelf.Quote:

Just googled and mine are “DM1” so not DM2, got my models muddled up. Not sure what the other ones are but will check when I can.Quote:

Those are Sony SS176.
The tweeter in particular is rather good.
I recently modded a 4 way transmission line kit speaker built in the early 70s. The T27 and Coles 4001 were swapped out for the Sony's and (with a suitably modded xover) much improved the top end.
P.s....I have the bass drivers going free if anyone needs them.
