SS-G9
(1978 - 1981)

Launched at the same time as the futuristic APM-8, the SS-G9 was unfortunately but previsibly eclipsed by the latter - something today's marketing geniuses wouldn't risk, would they?

The SS-G9 is a bigger SS-G7: same engineering and same Carbocon drivers. Only much bigger. The G9 in fact fits into the enclosure of an APM-8... at 87kg apiece. SS-G9s were naturally hand-made, the drivers hand-coated and hand-adjusted, the enclosures hand-sanded and hand-oiled.

The multi-wiring terminals weren't a novelty at Sony : all high-end Sony loudspeaker sported that feature right from the very beginning of the ES series in 1965 and the original SS-3100.

The production run is anybody's guess but the SS-G9 is unfortunately extremely rare.
