Those EMI 350's are nothing even remotely special. Boot sale fodder in my view, worth a tenner (to me at least)!

Well Geoff, in 1967 as apprentices, they were a sort of revelation - the ones with the two angled plastic tweeters that is, but yes even by the early 70s they were just another speaker, and now a historical artefact.
Yes Tony, there is no association with the BBC heritage, but there is with that free era of abundance and social revelation in which there was a lot of technical development money.
Ending today and could go cheap. Tannoy Dorset speakers. Collect from Caterham. Sound rather nice these. Proper dual concentrics!

Not really a HI Fi speaker, the plastic coned tweeters did not go up as high as the much better paper coned one used on the 350. Also the 450 did have a very small magnet. That said, the 450 could make quite a bit of noise from a low powered amplifier, so connecting it to a radio or record player with a poor speaker could result in an improvement.

Anyone with a spare £50,000 loose in their pocket?
