Akai had a lot of nice, solid if not outstanding products back in the 70's hifi heyday.
Don't recall hearing Akai speakers specifically but some good value and nice looking receivers and other electronics.
Akai RTR and cassette tape decks were their most popular products back then as I recall.
I had an Akai hifi VCR for many years back in the 80's that was the best sounding hifi VCR I ever tangled with by leaps and bounds. I had it repaired several times just to keep it going but eventually it gave up the goat. Lost interest in hifi vcr recording mostly after that, though I still have a few tapes I recorded on teh Akai from years ago.
