    By the time that series came along I'd left the company so I never heard them, but I seem to remember PJC telling me a while ago that the Sextets were his favourite of all the speakers he designed at Heybrook.

    Nice speakers. The models with the tweeter level switch are supposed to be better balanced and easier to match to room. Very low levels of cabinet colouration IMHO.

    One major thing is that these are designed to work close/up against a rear wall (little baffle step correction applied on these) and will sound bass light if moved out in the room.

    Bass port (2 I think) is in the bottom of the cabinet.

    The tweeters are now unobtanium.

    These look lovely. They appear to be in great condition, and opinion seems to be that these are good speakers. But, are they a bargain or overpriced?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
