?? asking all you 660 owners...........

are all yours made in singapore ?
or some counties other than japan ?

mine were from singapore --
which surprised me - :-O
because -- back then - all the aiwa brand goods were getting huge top dollar
--even more than sony brand stuff --
so -
there was no good reason to make them there :huh:

Back in Dec 1982 I have this sale ad and the Aiwa CS660 was on sale for $259.00. :-O

excellent review, enjoyed reading it.

i dont want to go off topic, but since the m70 seems somewhat of a benchmark in mid size bbx's, how would one compare to my marantz in sound quality?
(if anyone has heard both that is)

thanks

The review sounds about accurate. :yes:

However, it might not be an apple to apple comparison. :hmmm: The M70 is a 15 volt boombox. I forget if the Aiwa is a 12v or 13.5v box but I think a fairer comparision is to compare boxes with similar voltage requirements since voltage plays a major role in a boomboxes overall power output, which can affect things like Bass which draws a lot of current.

Very important point Superone :bow:

I have yet to hear an Aiwa unit, but I know it must be kicking. I've seen the 660 only a few times and thought they must sound good. Melly I salute you for such a comprehensive review. What does the 660 sound like recording onto a nice classic chrome like TDK SA? It's already been said, a lot of these boomers have excellent cassette decks built in.

Cheers

I have to say that on low volumes to mid volume the Stereo660 has
superb and deep bass with that DSL circuitry-beautiful sound!! :yes:
