I know it’s impossible to tell from a UA-cam video, but the sound wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. It sounded fairly dynamic with quite an open sound stage? I’d imagine somebody who doesn’t know much about hi-fi would be quite happy with their purchase?
i sold the set for 50, I think it will be hard to buy speakers amplifier , cd, tuner for 50 euro but sometimes you can be lucky and score a much better sounding set for that amount
I tested in my house speakers , sometimes costing 200 euro a pair second hand what didn't sound as good as these speakers, so in a way you can say that it's not the worst sound I ever heard, specially in this price class(50 to 100 euro complete) So maybe I was a bit to harsh in my statement, But al those speakers I tested before what sounded worser as these , I also put in the ground. For me bad sound is a bad sound, I don't have qualifications in bad sounding stuff because I hope people listening to me and stay away from everything i disqualify as bad sounding. I don't think it's interesting for my viewers to let them now exactly on what spot and between which other bad speakers these belongs because nobody want to buy the bad stuff. In a way I can also not imagine that some don't have more to spend as 50 euro for a soundset. I believe everybody can invest at least 200/300 euro in a soundtest but hey....there are persons watching my channel who don't have money to buy food in the end of the month. I know there are plenty of these persons. So now I am thinking about that, maybe, in the future, I should judge sound quality for what price it cost also the stuff from 50 euro. For some 50 euro is all what they can spend for sound....For 50 euro this complete set is a good set to buy. Don't think you can find a better complete system for 50 ...here in the Netherlands I scored complete systems for free but that was just luck, also in the thrift stores you can score very cheap
i had this one given to me as a gift whitout the power amp. i used with a Phillips amplifier and it didnt sound bad. also most people arent audiofiles and didnt or couldnt spend alot of money on audio gear,thats why most households had cheap audio, just like today people have Bluetooth speakers in their house instead of real audio equipment
And that system is made out of a piece a tin we call it..lol the speakers look better that everything else..an a 10.000 uro plant stand 😂😂😂🤣that takes the cake right there .
It's s leather corner couch. Love it. Maybe in the future I should do my talking video's on that couch. She live 2 minute walking from me. And I name that serie talking video's "Andrew on the red couch"...not sure how much she paid but I remember she bought it new. She only buy new.
i had this gifted to me when i moved into my flat, safe to say neighbours really love me 😂, stepdad said his missus got him to but his n the 80s and cost around 1000GBP, it sounds great but i blew a speaker tower so going to replace them, but the main stack is working
I assume that this type of stereo was sold in a department store. I can remember in the 90s that had a lot of those cheap stereos there. If you wanted something better, you had to go to a specialty store.
I found one of these Sharp 7700 amplifiers in a local pawn shop; I needed 150-250wrms/ch to run a pair of subs for my home theater set. It was not expensive, $35 USD so I grabbed it, not much to lose My home theater DSP has 24db/active sub/mid crossover and passive or active for mid/tweet. With my mains at neutral gain with 90wrms/ch, I had to back off the Sharp amp channels quite a bit to not overpower the mains an get it balanced. It is common sense that the complete Sharp system is very cheap but this amp drives these sub woofers like a MaDMaN!! To truly experience what it is capable of, it needs to hooked up to a great sounding pair of subwoofers, through a good active crossover with gain control. I really had to turn it down a ton. My home theater is crisp, clean...much louder than I could ever need. I can turn it all the way up without distortion but it is just too loud!! The loudest I will use it with movies or CD music is about 55-60%. In summary, these Sharp 7700 Digital amplifiers are a hidden gem; when I find one in working condition I BUY THEM! They simply need to be used correctly ..)

Great video, Look at the inside of this amplifier, it is fake. The whole system is so fake. What are the speakers? I had a tuner from optomica and it was great and heavy.
@@vintagestereo They state that the Amplifier has 1% distortion. The inside of the power amplifier is interesting to look at. They do have found a large transformer a small board with a IC amplifier and some filter caps and heatsink. I want to look at the IC transistors to see the real power output. I have looked it up, it is a STK 4241 module that can do 120 watts on 8 Ohm. This thing can do allright at a party.
Well it looks good from the front, not everyone is interested in folking out big money for big sound, if it was that cheap it would have broken down. Please don’t go to someone else’s house and mock their equipment, each to their own, x bass means loud button that delivers more bass. Out…..Out, leave now and go back to your home…..!😂
This is the sound system the Emperor with no clothes bought. It is a very bold, and cheeky thing isn’t it. Thank you for sharing.

@@vintagestereoYes 50 euro is fine you could have give it away for free but nice to have some money from it, and the woofers are refaomed.

These systems are great sound !
You are always so very entertaining to watch!
always so nice to see you! great video
Sharp Optonica separates were great quality in the early 80's! I used to sell it in our local Hi-Fi shop.
Sadly this has zero in common with the quality Optonica :(
I also like how this thing labels the equalizer as a 14 band when it's technically only a 2 channel 7 band.
Beat cancel is for recording from the am radio. Sometimes you can get interference and that switch helps to eliminate it.
thank you sir,i always this question interesting me..
i had this one given to me as a gift whitout the power amp. i used with a Phillips amplifier and it didnt sound bad.
also most people arent audiofiles and didnt or couldnt spend alot of money on audio gear,thats why most households had cheap audio, just like today people have Bluetooth speakers in their house instead of real audio equipment
The speakers are very good, using german Westra units. The power amp is good because its simple - just big STK power chips.
And that system is made out of a piece a tin we call it..lol the speakers look better that everything else..an a 10.000 uro plant stand 😂😂😂🤣that takes the cake right there .
If you have a g-8000 and a sansui x911dg wich one would yoimu pick
g-8000 any time
The sound will be good for someone who starting out an audio getting to know it For beginners .
Nice place Drew and that sharp is sharped Nice piece
Andrew your making me laugh so hard when you said that the speakers are stands for pots and vases..and plant stands 😂😂🤣
I am sure that in some households this is really happening.
@@vintagestereo 🤣
@@vintagestereo It's true! Oh women!!
Ask your sister where she bought her red leather couch at and what kind is it I love it beautiful..?
It's s leather corner couch. Love it. Maybe in the future I should do my talking video's on that couch. She live 2 minute walking from me. And I name that serie talking video's "Andrew on the red couch"...not sure how much she paid but I remember she bought it new. She only buy new.
@@vintagestereo looks expensive what kind is it..I'm just a furniture person..

I had the whole set before, it looks good but thats about it :)
7:08 where the hell did they get the 650Watts rating from.🤷🏻♂️😂
Easy - just being hella inefficient :D but probably from some kind of peak power draw when the PSU caps run out?
NICE VIDEO, THANK YOU

My question is -IS IT FOR SALE ? Where are you located and how much? I use to have that set.
vintage technology are the best, i prefer old technology,
congratulations !!! you have a gold technology
I did sell these back in the days.
They were cheap.

Used to own a Sharp Tv in the 80ies. Picture wasn't...well, very sharp.
The Sharp LCD Quattron TV/screens were/are really good.
For the money it's a good deal for beginners.
I sold these sets for fl.999 back in 1992
That's not really cheap, i bet they where selling good
FL 999 Dutch gulden = €400

That stereo I would guess it's probably a 1986 model
Great video, Look at the inside of this amplifier, it is fake. The whole system is so fake. What are the speakers?
I had a tuner from optomica and it was great and heavy.
the speakers are Sharp CP-7700 MK2 its a hot air system
They are made to look impressive and to attract customers who have no clue.

Bro
sounds OK but would defo be better with a nice sub
Que belleza

Please don’t go to someone else’s house and mock their equipment, each to their own, x bass means loud button that delivers more bass.
Out…..Out, leave now and go back to your home…..!😂
klingt für mich nicht gut
The looks can be deceiving
