At least in England in the 70's, Pioneer sold truly awful loudspeakers, and
amplifiers were also of below-average performance. They improved afterwards with
a set of amplifiers with minimal controls. I do not think the loudspeakers ever
improved....

Nah! Stick with your cameras and choo-choo's. Majority of analog Pioneer
equipment is still running today. Besides, all the analog audio
manufacturers did the same thing (and still do), except for the very
high-end components. Pioneer "car" equipment was trash, not home audio.
