Please dont tempt me ,

if these sound anything like the Mezzo's I have the buyer is in for a REAL audio wake up call for next to nothing money

Great advert & photos

[VanDerGraaf]

Agreed, great advert and seems a total bargain!

Way too far away for me sadly.

[tankertop]

Thanks for all the kind comments chaps, one tries. Speakers now sold.

What a bargain!

Brought up with sounds like the Goodmans Minister and the like. I'd be tempted just for the nostalgia of these and the big involving sound they make. Sadly too many speakers around here (1 or 2 more coming) so will decline (tempting though!).

How does the Minister SL version differ by the way?

The SL version changed the tweeter to a Philips model, and it had nicer banana plug posts, instead of bare screws. I haven't heard them, though, but still listen to the original Ministers in my bedroom, really lovely sound and teak cabinets.

Nice thread revival! For info, the tweeters in the first pic do look like the Phillips ones, the Goodmans DT3 ones had a more square shaped plate.

[walpurgis]

Goodmans made some odd choices regarding tweeters. The DT3 was a bit unrefined and the Philips was brash at the top. The SEAS larger dome employed in the Mezzo had issues too. The Goodmans tweeter I liked best was the PVC surround cone unit as per Maxim, which sounded sweet. I used to buy NOS job lots of the various types and tried them all in various projects many years ago.
