Description

Attractive Vintage Sony “BlueFace” SS-967 3-Way Floor Standing Speakers with Ribbon Tweeters and Freshly Refinished Real Walnut Veneer Cabinets.

Crafted in Japan and assembled in Canada, the Sony SS-967 speakers are a vintage treasure, offering impressive sound quality and build for their era. These 3-way floor standing speakers feature a unique design with ribbon tweeters, 3″ midrange drivers, and 10-inch woofers, delivering a well-balanced and detailed audio experience.

Ribbons have a thoroughly deserved reputation for being special. Some of their advantages:

Low mass Ultra-fast transient response Able to reproduce frequencies even above 50 kHz

The SS-967 speakers are known for their surprisingly good build quality and impressive sound performance. The ribbon tweeter, in particular, is considered the standout component, providing exceptional clarity and detail in the high frequencies. The overall sound is rich and full-bodied, with precise instrument reproduction and positioning.

These speakers offer a great balance of performance and aesthetics, making them a popular choice among vintage audio enthusiasts. Their size is comparable to a pair of JBL 36s, providing a substantial presence in any room.

Key Features: 3-way speaker design Ribbon tweeters for crisp, clear highs 10-inch woofers for robust bass response Adjustable Tweeter and Mid Range Attractive wood veneer cabinet Excellent build quality

The Sony SS-967 speakers are an excellent choice for those seeking a vintage audio experience with a touch of Japanese engineering excellence. Their unique ribbon tweeter design and overall sound quality make them a standout option in the used speaker market.

Speakers have been cleaned and tested, Tweeter and Mid Range Controls have been de-oxidized, and Walnut Cabinets have been professionally refinished. Asking $395 for these gorgeous, great sounding vintage Sony’s in excellent condition. (No grills included with this pair, but it would be a crime to cover up these BlueFace beauties.)

About brand

Sony at Radique

We service Sony, too. Bring us your own Sony receivers, amplifiers, tuners, CD players and cassette decks, Walkman-size players included for repair, servicing or restoration (not reel-to-reel decks), with a 90-day warranty on the work. See our Audio Service page

Sony began in Tokyo in 1946, founded by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, and it helped bring the world the Walkman and the compact disc. We carry Sony stereo and AV receivers, CD players, cassette decks, amplifiers and speakers. We've had more than 220 Sony listings so far, covering more than 185 different models. Every used Sony here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.

Sony models we've sold more than once include the TC-K61 cassette deck, the CDP-CE305 and CDP-C335 CD players, the STR-DA5700ES AV receiver and the STR-4800SD stereo receiver.

The Sony story, 1946 to today

Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita founded Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo ("Totsuko") in Tokyo in 1946, growing out of a radio repair business Ibuka had started the year before. The company was renamed Sony in 1958.

Tape and transistors. The G-model tape recorder of 1950 is described as Japan's first, and the TR-55 transistor radio of 1955 was the first Sony-branded product.

ES. Sony describes the TA-1120 integrated amplifier of 1965 as the first all-silicon-transistor stereo amplifier and dates its ES ("Elevated Standard") line from it.

Walkman and CD. The Walkman went on sale in Japan in July 1979. Sony worked with Philips on the compact disc, and Sony's CDP-101 was among the first CD players on sale in Japan in October 1982. Sony still makes ES AV receivers.

Which Sony is which?

STR receivers: stereo receivers from the late 1960s on, such as the STR-6120, and later AV receivers, including ES models.

TA amplifiers and ES separates: from the TA-1120 to the TA-E86 preamplifier and TA-N86 power amplifier (1978).

CDP CD players: from the CDP-101 (1982) and CDP-701ES (1983) to changers such as the CDP-CE305 and CDP-C335 we sell often.

TC tape decks: reel-to-reel recorders until 1985, and cassette decks such as the TC-K61 and the three-head TC-K777ES.

SS speakers: such as the SS-G7 floorstanders of 1978.

Buying used Sony: what to check

CD players. Open and close the drawer several times; hesitation can be an early sign of trouble. Laser pickups wear, skipping is a symptom, and tray belts age.

Cassette decks. Belts dry out and cause slipping or uneven playback, and worn heads dull the sound. Run fast-forward and rewind, and check Dolby.

Amplifiers and receivers. Noisy switches and dirty relay contacts cause many faults, and bias settings drift with age. On tuners, look for blown bulbs and broken dial cords.

Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
