Any info on this Philips?

M8717

Google searched the model number and had a look on stere80s and also searched the model # on here and found nothing. Style seems like late 80s?

I'm sure you learned collectors have more information on this model, it certainly looks like a behemoth.

Thanks for your time.

Rock on.

He doesn`t have many boxes there ,just a few hundred yet.Otherwise:we could not answer that question ,cause the mentioned site has nothing to do with our site.


If you sould buy it?
Most philips boxes are a bit bass weak,but (most)built quite solidly.

Nevertheless, it`s in the bbdb.
In our bbdb are more than 11.000.
i.e.:
we`ve got listed 350+ philips boxes

Unfortunately it`s not available currently.

Hello

I had this bbox a few years ago, and sold it. It's big, but it don't sound that good as you would expect of a box in this size. Got no dynamic, no bass. The most Philips boxes sound very neutral ... for me no bbox to have.

Best wishes
