18. Pioneer CS-911A Speakers from 1975?

Not sure of the year on these or the cost, sorry.
Okey dokey then!
These monsters weighed in at 50 pounds each.
They could handle 150 watts.
These 8 ohm, 4-way badboys featured six speakers in each cabinet.
I wonder if they were trying to challenge Sansui to see who could jam the most drivers in a cab!
Anyhow, we have here a 15 inch woofer, 2 four inch mids, 1 three inch tweeter and 2 two inch super tweeters in each cab!
Mid range and high range adjustments help turn up or down the brightness till it's just right for that Led Zeppelin revival that you know you're going to fall into the next time Grey Goose is on sale.

I had this pair for about a year before I traded them to a buddy for I don't remember what.
I do remember that they could take one hell of a pounding!
Rock on!

    1. I bought mine from an estate sale probably 20 years ago in Akron NY, what are the chances they used to be yours? (or that you'll even get notice of a response.)

  7. I have a set of these CS-911A Speakers and the original boxes they came in. The Foam Grills fell apart quite a while back but still have the grill frames and they can be recovered with cloth or maybe even foam again I am sure. When I bought them at the Base Exchange they originally cost $350.00. I bought a set of speaker stands to hold them off the floor I am interested in selling them. My contact is Jimbig1954@hotmail.com

  8. I have a pair of these left from a recent sale. If somebody near coastal NC/SC is interested, I'm selling the pair for 250. Sound is amazing. No foam faceplates, otherwise solid condition. coolcatjoey2@hotmail.com

  10. I have owned a pair of these in 1974. My buddy was in the Navy and bought them in Japan. Originally for $99.00 each. They were absolutely the best speakers I have ever owned!

  12. Im looking to buy a pair of CS 911a speakers. Better yet I have a pair and just need the 15 inch woofers. I sold the 15s because I had some project speakers I built. Should have just kept them in the 911a speakers. If I cannot find any woofers I have a pair I would like to sell minus the 15s.
