Hi,
Very nice.
I have myself one pair HPM-100 in just as good condition as yours (judging from your pics). Well built speakers.

Hi, Robcrx
Shure, I can put up some pictures. My speakers is in a storage so it will take a week or so. Then we can admire our speakers.😀

Love it! And they look amazing!
Just fired up my HPM-60's for the first time in months, and I was blown away... Again... (Recently bought a 310 sub and 290 satellites from MBQuart from ~1990, but I like the HPM's sound way better! (but didn't do a side-by-side comparison yet))
Are the HPM-100's always 200W or are the 'old' ones with a foam surround less powerful?
I drive my HPM-60's (30Wrms, foam surround) with a 100Wrms amp, and they love it. Going by this, you'd need a 600Wrms amp 🙂

those are beautiful 😱, its hard to find old gear in that good of shape.
What do you drive them with?
I have a pioneer PL-518, SX780, HPM 60 setup in my room and a PL-540 SX1250 HPM100 in the man cave.

Those really are beautiful speakers in amazing condition!
Pioneer really was pursuing JBL in those days and the styling shows a lot of similarites. Looks like very nice oiled Walnut.
Enjoy!

45w + 45w Pioner SA-610 for now
HP-100 never came with foam surrounds..
Very clean looking Anders ! What do you clean them with ?
Thanks guys. I just conditioned the cabinets today with Howards Feed N Wax.
The cabinets look richer and leaves a nice luster to it.
They are better than new now 😛
Money well spent.
PS: After seeing this pic, I was sold on it. 🙂

I stand corrected. I think I may have confused them with the HPM-150's.
But since I have never seen either (100 or 150) in the flesh, I am far from being an expert 😉, just merely an enthousiast.
(But even if I would ever run into a clean 100 or 150 set for peanuts like some of you seem to do 😀, not sure the wife would let me buy them after adding three sets of speakers in the last 3 weeks...
including my first Wharfedales (Denton 2XP), possibly even older than my HPM's?) and 1990's MBQuart sub+satellite (310/290))
Thanks!
To be honest, I have never cleaned my HPM-100 speakers. They were as good when I got them five years ago (and clean storage does not make them dirty).
Update:
Well here are the finished stands. Im very pleased with them ! :-D
What do you think ?
Well, here are some pics with the speakers mounted.

I agree -- it was my distinct impression that they were going after the JBL Centuries.
They are 4 way but i always suspected that the HPM tweeter didn't do much. HPM equals high polymer material. It was a plaastic film that expanded under voltage. Form it into a cylinderr and the expansion converts to outward growth. They had a large floor stander with HPM full cylinder mid and tweet.
