After much deliberation, I have finally settled for a pair of NOS Pioneer Pure Malt VP instead of the Castle Anniversary. The key motivation behind is the unique recycled woods from the whisky barrel, which is both eco friendly and meaningful. To be specific, the Pioneer Japan presents S-A4SPT-VP speaker system is made from Whisky barrel wood, which are almost 50 years old which are in turn made from Oak trees almost 100 years old. The speaker produces a soft, mellow tone that lingers in the air. White oak is one of the world’s hardest woods, which makes this unique cabinet extremely rigid and It suppresses unwanted cabinet vibration and enhances the driver’s performance, contributing to the superbly expressive sound.
The above features of vintage solid wood are good USPs which have made the speakers appealing. Each pair of speaker cabinets has its own unique wood grain and color. In addition, this high quality oak will continue to change to a splendid deeper color as time goes on. Having the Gold badge LS3/5a and the legendary 755a Fullrange speakers, I am sure this Pioneer VP will join the line of legend since these have been discontinued.
The speakers with TAD (Technical Audio Devices) technology, 10cm diameter woofer, playback frequency range 50Hz – 40 kHz, 6 Ω impedance measures 154×213×246mm and weighs 3.7kg.
Given the relatively inexpensive price points, these are really values for money speakers. It's a start of my new hifi journey...
