Whoopee! I love it when a plan comes together.
My latest Tannoy purchase is the Ascots and although I've had a little playing around with damping the cone, ideally paper pulp replacement cones were what I had in mind.
So, what do we have here? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2718695359...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Just bought. A pair of SRM 10B cones in what looks like very nice condition. To be dispatched to me in a couple of weeks after I return from a break.
Once I get these fitted there should be a big transformation in the sound. I was very lucky to find a low resonance rubber roll surround set, they are rare. Most 10" Tannoy cones on eBay have the hard corrugated edge.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
