The speakers look nice.They are not those common 4 to 6 inch all range speakers in the compact sets.
If I had a choice of these type of sets.I'll take this Sanyo over then any current stereo set similar to this set at Walmart.

This unit has ribbon cables powering the 14 Band Graphic Equalizer, the tape deck and the tuner off the amp, it also has a hookup for a turntable as well, but the turntable that went with this setup is long gone and was at some point replaced with a Sony CD player from 1990. I have a picture of the amplifier insides below and as you can see Sanyo wasn't messing around when they built this unit, it has a huge beefy power transformer for powering this unit (its a cold chassis not hot) and it appears that it does use discrete transistors instead of STK chips for the audio circuits.
