The Panasonic showroom at Umekita Osaka is my must go place every time I visit Japan. I currently own Eidolon Diamond and YG Haileys and my reference monitors are the SBC700. A friend of mine bought the R1 after he borrowed my C700s for a month and he's been real happy 2 years ownership and counting.

The SB-G90 (Grand Class Model) I have had the opportunity to listen to and I do own the Premium Class SB-C700 Speakers. The x-over components (SB-C700) are good quality high spec parts-a lot goes into the neo Technics Gear. Solid Cabinets / Finish. The SB-G90 design has an innovative internal baffle mount for the drivers which Technics made the effort to use.

Oh yes, I did research them...as much as there is on them, but mainly basing my purchase on my dealers word that I have dealt with a lot and trust and who knows me and what I like. Plus if for some reason I don’t like them, I can trade them in toward another speaker so nothing to lose really. Was just wondering if anyone else had heard them to toss that into the mix while I was deciding. But again, I know they are not that well known here but were designed to be top end competitors with lots of great technology inside them. We shall see! |
They were part of a Technics super system driven with the SE-R1 poweramp at shows a couple of years ago. https://ibb.co/J3n378B https://ibb.co/CmMgJcw Cheers George |
