Akai sr-210 (30w-6ohm) speakers set serie nummer : 896dg01740 breedte: 28,0 cm hoogte: 54,5 cm diepte: 22,8 cm gewicht: 8,6 kg per speaker ze werken goed.
This looks like a fair-to-good ask, leaning slightly favorable: €40 is above the cheapest recent sightings, but still not out of line for a clean pair if the drivers and cabinets are intact. Recent used references for this model cluster around roughly €5–€20, with a rare stronger outlier at €100, so €40 sits above the common low end but not at a level that feels unreasonable for a complete, usable set.
What makes it worthwhile is the usual vintage Akai appeal: simple, honest bookshelf speakers that can be a fun, period-correct match for modest amps and small rooms. If the fronts are original, the cones are healthy, and there’s no foam rot, they’re the kind of low-stakes vintage buy that can punch above the price. The main thing to confirm is basic condition and completeness, since at this age the value lives or dies on whether they’re still sounding balanced rather than just surviving cosmetically.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Akai Electric Company Ltd. traces its origins to Japan, founded by engineer Masukichi Akai in Tokyo around 1929, with his son Saburo Akai playing a key role in its early growth. Initially focused on affordable radio components, the firm formalized as a full electronics manufacturer post-World War II, often cited as 1946. By the mid-20th century, Akai had evolved into a prominent name in consumer audio, peaking in the 1970s before financial troubles led to its exit from the industry in 1991.
The brand built its legacy on high-quality tape-based audio gear, including reel-to-reel tape recorders, cassette decks, tuners, amplifiers, and complete stereo systems that brought professional-grade sound to homes. In the late 1980s, Akai Professional revolutionized music production with the MPC series—starting with the 1988 MPC60, co-designed by Roger Linn—integrating sampling, sequencing, and velocity-sensitive pads into compact workstations that defined hip-hop and electronic genres.
Today, Akai holds a revered vintage-collector status among hi-fi enthusiasts for its robust 1970s components, prized for their warm analog character and build quality. In the pro audio realm, the MPC line endures as an iconic, mid-to-high-end tool for beatmakers, with modern iterations sustaining the brand through licensing. While not a current leader in traditional hi-fi like amplifiers or speakers, its heritage appeals to savvy buyers seeking timeless reliability over fleeting trends.
