Does anyone have any info on these? Specifically wanting to know how efficient these are and the recommended power handling figures. Cheers

There's a reason for the two Celestion 'HF1300's
The three-way 5/1A's were KEF built using KEF drivers I understand and are claimed to be the last of the "truly neutral" BBC monitors (the 5/8 and 5/9 have bass/lower mid lifts which may counteract the metre or more distance from the floor many of them seemed to be placed).
Too old for many to come up for sale now I think, but fondly remembered by those that knew them I remember.
EDIT - What the bloody 'eck was I talking about? The LS5/5's probably that replaced the above.
Seriously fellas, look at the BBC research papers, on the 5/5 especially, and read the comments on the 5/1's, which I think date from the early 60's...

Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

They are Goodmans Bass units in those 1AE's
15" Goodmans unit André?
EDIT: Just confirmed that in the thread below
Only asking because I might have a chance of a pair. Just found another thread with lots of helpful details about these speakers and I am a bit shocked to discover that the nominal impedance is 25ohms

It would seem that the amps that drove these were a measly 35watts, I wonder if the Valhalla would struggle at 15watts a side?

15" woofers and the BBC sound, which I happen to enjoy

Which bit does the mids?

I'll leave that explanation to the experts. It is the bottom HF1300 effectively , but it is way more complicated than that.
