I believe you will find that it is original, it's the forerunner of the TL12+. They started making them back in the 1940's, which is too early even for me.

I have had my TL10's hanging onto a pair of Apogee Stages, they were amazing producing some increadable bass, push pull makes all the difference to a low powered amp running power hungry speakers, wished i had never parted with the Apogees,

Why not strip em Flogg the Celestion 1300 & Coles 4001 tweeters if you can't get shut?

HiFi Dave ought to have them for his collection.........

TL10's into Stages. Oh those poor amps, thrashed that way.. have the stages ribbons collapsed yet, or is this just something that happens to the big ones??????

**Jonboy** · 13-12-2009, 18:53

The ribbons were perfect on these and they also had there original packing boxes, but hey ho i can't keep everything, i passed them on to a local-ish dealer who has a soft spot for Apogees even though he flogs stuff fo 10's of thousands of pounds!!?.
The TL10's were only run for a few hours on then just to see if they could, i spoke another guy from Kent who ran Apogees on Audionote kit and claimed that these low powered valve amps were ok at running 2ohm speakers

The treble ribbons tend to go loose on the bigger speakers buy all accounts, they can be re-tensioned if you know what you are doing, my mate has just replaced these on his Diva's, you know who you are if your reading this matey, when are you going to start to post then?

Might well do this Andre, it just seems a shame to break them up.

I have a mate with Croft re-built TL12's and they're lovely, if different slightly to the Quads. They HATED being moved around and connected to various different speaker loads, needing around half an hour to settle down again.

No, they're the originals all right, though they're not worth the final bid price of £2,333.38, they're only worth £2,333.00!
