In its day many considered the acoustical (quad) corner ribbon,
Rather expensive and rare, but the ribbon tweeter is quite something,
Probably very slightly let down by the bass driver.

Thanks Ken..

Looks like a good meet brewing
If your all OK i'll bring my now battered looking red semi open baffles, I think the last time I came up I brought some large white baffles, these red ones are my best...

Thanks Steve, I'm looking forward to it.
Cheers

Thanks for the offer Ali, but I have to be home as I'm taking a mate to a radio rally near Warrington the next day, I'll have to leave about 8.00 pm..
It will be good to see you..

I'm hoping to get up there again Steve, it will be great to catch up again with you all. It must be 4 years when I last came up.
I can bring a full system if you can accommodate it.

Yes I realise that, I was just explaining the reasons..
To be fair many valve amps are the same.. the fact that the speakers are good with jazz proves to me they are better than most, sort the amp...

Had a read through all of the replys.. there's nothing wrong with valves.. It just the amplifier the're put in.

A common issue with all amplifiers but more noticable on valves is the ability to...

I attended the afternoon session, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, it was great to hear so many cartridges back to back
Thanks

I bought a pair of 700s a couple of years ago for £60, again untested
The speakers sounded ok if nothing spectacular.
I stripped the drivers out intending to sell the ribbons, a quick test on a...

I'm no help with buying a cheap one, but your more than welcome to use mine..
I live near the humber bridge..

I would disagree with his opinion... Mic placement and varies so much and many mics are not directional.
Music moves outwards from the source. Speakers should reproduce this.
My view on speakers is...

That grey sound or grain in some hifi amps is not frequency related... My hearing tails off at around 13khz but it's still easy for me to recognise.

I too have a lot of early mags . The earliest being a radio times from 1922. There was very little being broadcast, just evenings. Surprisingly there are a lot of valve and component adverts. Some...

I have a couple of fr64s both silver wired.. I may part with one ?
Pm me if interested

I've got a room again Steve. Looking forwards to it.. did a bit more fine tuning to my ported baffles ready for the show. I'm Really pleased with the sound now... hope every one who visits agrees..? ...

I had a trx850 on the 90's that suffered with carb icing, put me off riding it in the cold..
I'm in the process of restoring a little honda c110d. It has an oil line that runs through the carb to...

Sounds to me the tubes may not be right.
I can test them all and check the amp over.
I live just west of Hull

Yes Alan was still a none believer at Dave's Yorkshire hi fi club meet
The old telifunkens are quite something
Cheers

Yes I agree it's linked I've always thought of that aspect as bandwidth.
I would not recommend any large driver for the higher frequencys though, many I use do have a very wide band width but there...

Thats acceleration factor which can be quite low in inefficient smaller bass drivers and is a calculation based on speaker BL and voice coil length, many pa and old school type speakers may come...

Of course you can't say bigger speakers are better, there are good and bad in everything as you know and there are compromises with all loudspeakers. I can only talk about my experiences ... always...

Found this review of some speakers with twin 5" cones... sounds very much like my experiences hearing these type of speakers, again my preference is high efficiency and much larger speakers, for me...

Me too... I use high quality pa 18+15+12+ tweeters on a 5 watt set amp

Thanks for linking that it's an interesting read
The difference in size and efficiency is staggering between the 70's versions I have and these early sixtys bbc 'specials'
I also have a pair of...
