Sanyo BIGBEN MR-X20 Silver Edition

docs - 2013-01-15 12:40

Today a big parcel arrived from Hong Kong sent by Peppin. The packaging was brilliant and double boxed with a ton of bubblewrap and extra foam like protection. The box itself is stunning. Needs a little clean and some internal spraying of switches etc. but nothing major. This is a splendid example of a BIGBEN and it is the more rare silver version too! Just beautiful. Sound is as per usual from this box, excellent. Hope you enjoy the photo's.

congratulations docs, i was tempted by this one when it popped up on ebay but then i realized that it was out of reach for my pocket. in my opinion this beauty is even more beautiful than the "normal" edition --which already is more than awesome to say the least. enjoy it, and thanks for sharing!

lav.loo - 2013-01-15 12:45

that's an absolute beauty Mate, no other word for it, a massive congrats in order

what a box well done on bagging it dave a beut !   your collection just gets better and better 

deech - 2013-01-15 13:00

Congratsulations Docs !

One of the most beautiful boxes around imo!

Had my eyes on it too but as samovar me too i was out of reach!

This is the jap version and it needs a converter eh?

All writing is in japanese as i remember ! and the grill of the middle speaker

writes BIG BEN and not superwoofer ??

retro - 2013-01-15 13:03

Congrats DOC, I prefer the transparent grille on the model, very nice.

northerner - 2013-01-15 13:12

Nice one Dave, that's a stunner for sure. Congrats!!

nickfish - 2013-01-15 14:11

very nice dave .

baddboybill - 2013-01-17 07:13

So it has metal grill

baddboybill - 2013-01-17 07:15

And super woofer has no red trim ...hmmm!! That's definitely not like my Japanese model...

docs - 2013-01-17 07:18

Agreed bbb. My previous Jap model had red trim to woofer too. I definitely think that Sanyo did a few revisions of this but as it is this one has hit the spot for me.

northerner - 2013-01-17 07:23

Just gorgeous

 

Fab photography too Dave.

 

Its threads like this that make me wish I could up my boombox budget

baddboybill - 2013-01-17 23:55

No problem..

jason.hall - 2013-01-18 10:47

Excuse my drool.... dreaming about owning "Big Ben" one day

netm8kr - 2013-01-19 18:11

Docs, that is very impressive. Whoever you got that from is a true fan of electronics. The packaging was equally as impressive. The first thing I noticed was the metal grill. These the brightness of the silver finish. The japanese writing on it lets you know, "I'm not from around here". Top Notch. 

 

Peace...Netm8kr

radio.raheem - 2013-01-20 05:12

That is a beut docs....much better looking AV too....nice job lad
