I've only owned one pair of MS speakers, the MS400's, 13" x 8" EMI + large Peerless soft dome (some were fitted with KEF T15) and Coles 4001G supertweeter, these were pretty good sounding, though I think they would have benefited from a slightly larger enclosure.

Watch out for shrunk surrounds on the extremes of the large axis of the EMI elliptical bass unit.
My friend has done a very effective repair of these on several units.

The LRMs use a higher resonance version of the driver in my Cheviot II speakers. The LRM has the corrugated hard edge surrounds and the Cheviot II has foam roll surrounds. Otherwise the drivers are to all intents and purposes similar. The bass is more extended with the Cheviot II due to the lower driver resonance and larger cabinet. The overall tonal character is very similar though. These are the best sounding 12" pepperpot Tannoy dual concentric units I've used. Better than the Monitor Gold 12" and HPD 315 models I've had.Thanks Paul. So better than the 800's ? can you tell me what size the drivers are.. I'm guessing 12"...and are those cabinets suitable for the driver? Thanks again for your help
As for the System 800 in comparison? They are very different, but just about as good in my opinion. The scale is smaller and the top is marginally smoother I feel, but the SRM/Cheviot II have more mid transparency and a touch more vitality about them (and obviously more 'wallop').

More Tannoys!
A pair of Tannoy Eatons in Welwyn Garden City at a fair price and open to offers. I love these little monitors (had five pairs), they use the HPD 295A alnico pepperpot driver that has non rotting rubber surrounds and seem to last forever. Basically a ten inch version of the 12" Monitor Gold really. Very sweet sounding and surprisingly punchy. Highly recommended as an intro into 'real' Tannoys.

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!”

I don't know if this is a cheap way of buying some 15" Tannoy's or not...
