Aangeboden: een vintage sanyo sx 551 vloerstaande luidspreker. Deze speaker, hoewel gebruikt en met duidelijke tekenen van leeftijd (zoals te zien op de foto's), biedt nog steeds een unieke ge
This looks like a fair ask, leaning slightly to the good side. At €75, it sits below the €90 median for recent comparable EUR listings and well under the €159 75th percentile, though not quite in true bargain territory below the €55 25th percentile.
That makes it a sensible buy if the cabinets are clean, drivers are intact, and the crossover hasn’t been abused. Vintage Sanyo floorstanders can be a pleasant, easy-listening find when they’ve been kept original, with decent value for someone after a classic hi-fi setup rather than a collectible showpiece. If you can confirm both speakers are working evenly and the woofer surrounds are healthy, this is the kind of listing worth a close look.

Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. traces its origins to 1947 in Osaka, Japan, when Toshio Iue, brother-in-law of Panasonic founder Kōnosuke Matsushita, launched the company using a disused Matsushita factory to produce bicycle generator lamps. Formally incorporated in 1950, the name "Sanyo"—meaning "three oceans"—reflected Iue's vision of global reach across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. From these humble beginnings, Sanyo rapidly expanded into consumer electronics, pioneering Japan's first plastic radio in 1952 and pulsator washing machine in 1954.
In audio and hi-fi, Sanyo earned recognition for mass-market components like stereo systems, introduced in 1958, and the groundbreaking all-transistor DC-600 system in 1963. The brand produced reliable radios, tape recorders, cassette decks—often rebadged for other labels—and hi-fi systems, alongside televisions and amplifiers. Later ventures included acquiring the U.S. Fisher brand in 1975, elevating its profile in receivers and speakers aimed at everyday enthusiasts.
Today, Sanyo holds vintage-collector status rather than an active hi-fi contender, its reputation rooted in affordable, innovative Japanese engineering from the 1960s-1980s golden era. Once a "3S" giant alongside Sony and Sharp, it catered to mid-tier buyers seeking solid performance without audiophile premiums, though its absorption into Panasonic in 2009 shifted focus away from dedicated audio gear. Collectors prize well-preserved Sanyo pieces for their durability and nostalgic appeal in retro setups.
