    Are the 44/405 Quads good for 'feeding' a pair of Tannoy Monitor Golds?

    A fettled 405-2 and vintage tannoys is a marriage made in heaven, as older Tannoy DC's present a "perfect" 11 Ohm loading from memory.

    Don't forget Dada Electronics. Not expensive, loads of parts new and used, a great blog and also great service. I'm sure Net-Audio are fine as well, but I couldn't afford their 33 upgrades..

    I've been toying with the idea of a 33/303 setup for my second system in the bedroom. I was wondering what a pair in good condition would be worth and roughly how much it would cost to update caps etc. to bring them up to date.

    Their was a guy (not gazemember) on ebay selling refurbished ones for circa £230 - £250 which to me sounds right, using desent quality components and someones time to do it. When looking at prices the 303's can fetch up to around £150 in original condition which is great for the quad purists but for sound quality and longevity completely refurbished is the way to go imo.
