I had a Kenwood receiver with 35 watts/channel hooked up to my CS 99A speakers. These speakers were so efficient (at least in those days) that I could rarely crank the volume more than 30%. I still have the speakers from 1975. I still have my Kenwood, too! Too bad I’m mostly streaming these days.
I have recently bought a pair CS99As. I have them connected to a Pioneer SX950 amplifier. All the cone speakers (woofer; midrange) are FB and in mint condition. The seller told me both the horn tweeters and super tweeters are cooked. So I bought two PT-410F-2 horn tweeters and four super tweeters. One set is type 25-7227 and another set KA7116. After replacing the tweeters they sound crispy and very good. However I don't hear the super tweeters. They seem to be okay, each measure 4 ohms. My question is...someone who owned or tested the CS99S speakers...can you really hear a huge difference with/without the supertweeters?
