I bought...

Really like the look of those Tannoys...nice system!
I could have used one of those in the 70's!!!!
I agree about the mass...this shell was the lightest I could find at 9 grams. It was recommended to me by a gent from Audiogon who has considerable experience with the 103D, so I took the leap of...

I can't answer that...I've been out of that line of work for twenty years!
