Technics RS-9900
(1977 - 1979)

Not that the two-box arrangement was a necessity but the RS-9900 was one of the very last overly over-sized beast the 70s ever produced. It was an all-out effort to make it the best, the biggest, the most impressive, the most... the Most!

By 1978, however, down-sizing was already just around the corner (just like the cost-cutters) and the RS-9900 didn't sell that much and is today, unlike the Naks or the Pioneers, a true rarity. Because the two-box arrangement really wasn't a necessity - market-wise.
Available in Japan under the RS-690U name.

 

This post will be updated later on with the full 8-page technical description of the two units that make each RS-9900.
