SONY SS-G333ES Speakers - Retro Rare Vintage 1980’s HiFi. Includes ultra rare WS-333 speaker stands!!! Sony's gem of 1980s musical engineering, alas at the time was Japan-only. Alongwith the (much) bigger SS-G777ES, and despite a very attractive price, the G333ES seemingly sold very little. Why oh why ? Because Sony is written on them and as we all know, that can't be good. However, gather around and listen : The SS-G333ES' bass and mid drivers use Sony's own High Stiffness Polyolefin which is stiffer and lighter than almost everything and also resistant to heat and water. And the tweeter is made of 99,9% pure Alumina crystals - way lighter and faster than titanium. Since 100% non-resonant enclosures are science-fiction only, why not tune the residual resonances to something useful ? Well, the enclosure and baffle of the G333ES are tuned to resonate at 365Hz (rear), 457Hz (sides) and 550Hz (top). And those frequencies are the equivalent of the following musical notes : DO, FA and LA (C, F and A for you anglo-saxon people). The G333ES is a musical instrument in itself - how's that for engineering extra-ordinaire ? PLEASE READ: These are by no means perfect, but just nice that they exist. These have been stored in my grandfathers loft for many years so essentially a loft find. Condition and Functionality- Unfortunately one of the tweeters appears not to be working. Looking on eBay a tweeter is for sale via another seller and appears to be a genuine original Sony part for this exact model speaker. Cosmetics - there is cosmetic damage to some of the speaker grills in that they are pushed in. Also looks like some damage to one of the mid range speakers but does not impact playback. Usual scuff marks and light scratches to the wooden encasement but in-line with age and wear. Please study photos carefully and ask me if you require any further images to make a decision. Photos form part of the description. Tested and working, with the exception of the one tweeter as earlier mentioned. Again I stress, please contact me with any questions regarding condition. No returns or refunds on these. Get yourself a slice of 80’s vintage audio history!!!!On 06-Jul-23 at 20:36:53 BST, seller added the following information: Further tested the speakers this evening and there appears to be a slight buzzing sound coming from the damaged mid range when volume is above a certain level. This is the speaker containing the faulty tweeter. To make this set perfect you will need a replacement mid range as well as a tweeter in my opinion. Again both available through another seller on eBay. Having said this the sound is still unmistakably incredible and the one speaker without any issues is truly, truly awesome.
