Sharp system 7700 and Sharp CP-7700 MK2 speakers

Just saw that a professional Californian seller, with already 14.000 sales, is selling only the power amplifier for $399... What's wrong with these sellers on eBay? Crappy plastic junk for $399? But because it's eBay you can buy it now and pay in 12 monthly installments only $36 a month so 12x$36 =$432 That's a steal🤣🤣🤣 I wonder what the price was if the set was complete....$1200 🤣🤣🤣
The same evening I posted the complete set , including the speakers, on dutch ebay(marktplaats) for 50 euro and the set was sold next day. He bought it for his son from 14. My sister happy because she wanted to give the set to the thrift store for free.
I just can't understand why grown up persons think this is a nice set, I think it's nothing more as children play toy, some even think it's vintage:
I just saw a comment on hifi engine and the guy gave the set 4 out of 5 stars:

If you can grab one of these that hasn't been abused then you have a very nice bit of vintage kit in your possession.
Mine (since new) is hooked up to a pair Jamo D365s which are also vintage and the clarity of sound and gut wrenching bass is awe inspiring.
Irrespective of sensitivity this amp will move your speaker cones with aplomb and even at higher levels there is no trace of distortion.
The only downside is the amp is hardwired to 9v DC along with AC mains which was fed from the main console (long since dispatched to the hi-fi graveyard) but this was overcome by the use of a mains powered 9v battery charger.
Yes you can't beat the old stuff.
Another funny comment on a German forum:
16. Jan 2016, 17:47 Hi everyone....I have this Sharp 7700 system upstairs in the room. The part has quite a boom. Still sounds clear and with powerful bass even at high volumes. Looks very nicely lit, especially in the dark. Everything still works after 25 years! No lights off, no controller broken. The remote control works. No speaker was shot... The turntable used in the original in the top drawer sounds surprisingly good, although a simple belt drive. However, I have a Technics 1210 5G with direct drive and preamp on it. Sounds clean and dynamic... What more does the normal listener want? Purchased from Hertie in Berlin in 1989. Not from me, I bought it completely in 2000 for 300 DM. As a trained DJ, I immediately noticed that the stickers were total nonsense. These cheerful pranksters simply presented the total music output in mono (4 ohms). It's like showing the KW x 4 or even better x 5 wheels in a car. Geil, my Astra now has 320 KW! Still not so bad, the whole part. Whether that's high fidelity...well...clean recordings (CD & vinyl, cassette) also sound clean. My SONY SS-G 4 X 4 downstairs in the living room logically sounds like a cathedral on the STR 6800 SD...! No wonder at 10 times the price. 4 boxes of 4 (8) ohms each can be connected. Even then there is still enough power. You shouldn't turn up the full volume anyway, no matter how expensive or (subjectively) good. The matter with the square-wave signals is to be taken seriously. Some people already have a brand new 500 watt sine wave! Bose system with a 15 !!! Watt amplifier shot down... (How can that happen, it was only 15 watts..) Watch out, if professional technicians tell you something, saves a lot of money. The output stage is fully integrated and if it is not resoldered by a professional, it is only functional when the system is connected. The Bass Boost push button on the right middle of the unit works. When using the original parts (boxes, 150 watts sinus at 4 ohms), the bass is about a third higher. The prerequisite is that the equalizer (only sound control!) is strong in the bass range
raised.. Should be done anyway, otherwise the system only brings the boring standard sound. My conclusion: Good system for music lovers with a small budget. It can definitely be people with fully paid single-family homes... Enjoy your hi-fi play equipment and Rock It...LG to all!
