For Sale: 1 pair legendary Diatone DS-505 full-range 4-way monitors developed by Mitsubishi in 1984 with aramid honeycomb woofer/mid-range, and boron tweeter/mid-high domes. Extremely rare as they were never sold in the US, I bought them from an Ad Executive who lived in Japan for 16 years, then he moved back to the US and had them in storage for the last 20 years. They were a wedding present from his in-laws in Japan. Speakers are in excellent condition with some slight wear on the cabinets as to be expected with 30 year old speakers.

I recently fully restored the speakers by replacing all capacitors with equal value Bennic capacitors (12 per speaker) and softened the surrounds with treatment fluid, and they now sound just like new. These are one of the most solidly built speakers I've ever seen. Also includes custom built speaker stands to raise the speakers to the appropriate height.

Make an offer, local pickup in Pasadena, CA area only. Speakers are hooked up and ready for demonstration.
