Does anyone remember these, if so I would be interested to hear opinions.
My friend brought round a single one of these on Saturday.

I sold a pair of drive units to someone who owns a pair of Dalesford 'Ds'.
He rates them very highly, and also praises the transparency of the Dalesford Bextrene drive units.

I have had a pair of Dalesford D speakers since about 1976. I have been quite satisfied with the sound. If I compare them with Celestion DL4 the bass is a little more extended and the ambience less clinical. It was remarked in the press at that time that the mid frequencies were a little 'muddy' leading to less precise locations on the 'sound stage'. Studying the crossover reveals that the ferrite cored inductors are sited close together and less than optimal orientation. I extended the leads on mine so that there was a larger air gap between them. All clean, mud gone.
Cosmetically the walnut veneer has suffered on mine over the years, the acoustic foam crumbled and was replaced. The real annoyance is the small screw connectors which may be fine for bell wire but are a pain for 30A speaker wire. There lies the reason to use DL4's on my most used system.
Other than that, a nice speaker that is a welcome change from the common cube.
