I dare anybody to tote this beast around the neighborhood.

DIBS!!

That's the stuff that dreams are made of for sure. Great job, Drmz.

It already exists, but it should have a Pioneer nameplate.

Except that the JVC version would kick the Pioneer's ass from here to eternity.

If these damn people on ebay would have let me win some M70's, I would have built a M140 already.

I don't think so. Bring the M140 here and we'll see. :ls-duel:

I just thought about the M142 - the golden version...

The Pioneer drivers are so good, don't need 'em.

The 6 JVC tweets are compensating for an inherent lack of prowess in the highs dept, you think?

4 6.5 inch woofs and 6 tweets at 7 watts RMS per channel vs 2 4.5 inch woofs with whizzer cones (Not sure about the actual size) and two 4.5 inch passive radiators and ? watts per channel. I'd say the specs on paper heavily favor an M140.

I'll admit I've never heard a Pioneer SK-900/909 but damn those specs are way out of balance.

back in the day --we all had the 142s

i had 2 --let a buddy borrow one --and he left in a field ---- :annoyed:
we went back for the all party search -- with our flashlights --that very same nght --but --
we couldnt even find the field

then --a few years later -- right after MTV was invented --
my mother bought a color TV -
so i didnt need the 142 anymore--
sold it for a carton of smokes

who knew ???

I must disagree, the SK-900 is 8wpc, FTC, BTL at only 5% THD. The M140 will have 7wpc @ 10% THD and split that power between 2 woofers and 3 tweeters/channel and it's not looking pretty. Also, the speakers (if the scale is not shrunk) is 6" and not 6.5". If you ever refoamed an M70 woof, you'll know that 6.5" surrounds are too big and 6" fit perfectly. Pioneer -- power is definitely there and stronger than on JVC as per specs. As you know from many examples, driver size is not always what it seems, and the passives really make up for lots of bass.

 

[MasterBlaster84]

First I'm assuming 7 watts RMS X 4 in the JVC and 6 inch is still twice the surface area of a 4.5 speaker. The whole sealed enclosure with passive radiator vs open air design is another issue and I don't think anybody would argue that the engineered sealed enclosure design isn't superior. The quality of the drivers and type of amplifier is another argument and since this isn't real I'm not even going to start that.

We could get really silly and say the JVC runs on two sets of 10D batteries but when that box hits 40 lbs the portable claim really kind of dies.

i saw one 2 saturdays ago --at the flea --
the seller wanted 40 eiros --and it was missing the friggen ac cord !!!
and one of the OEM 140 door stickers

so - i countered with 30 euros --
he told me to fk off

i came back at the end of the day-
thank goodness it was stlll there

i said - ok - ill take it for the 40 -
he said FIFTY !!!!
i said --it WAS 40 :annoyed: :annoyed:
he said "my time"

 

[DrmZ]

50 eiros is too much, I agree.
You should have bid "a carton of smokes".
