Only one (box) on t'bay currently. ***
They DO appear; put it on your 'Watchlist' there?
Biased, with 3090s + Sandwiches....nice things!

***I note there's a pair of 3090 tweeters though!

Saw a pair of 15 ohm 600s on gumtree earlier, don't know what the impedance of the bass drivers is on those though.

It'll be 15 ohm. The Leak 2060 bass driver is likely to be similar to the 8 ohm 600 unit, although back then I'm fairly sure Rank/Wharfedale quoted 4 to 8 ohms for their speakers.

Ive got a couple of pairs of leak speakers, 2060s and a pair of sandwiches are they any good to you? I’m only keeping one set. It’s a bit far to collect though?

Not sure on the 3025s/3090s/ 600s, but the original (i.e. two unit) Sandwiches came in EITHER 8 or 15 ohm, as it was still edge of Valve useage in electronics.

That's interesting. I've had a couple of pairs and seen more, but always 15 ohm. Maybe it was very late ones that were 8 ohm. My '66/'67 yearbook only says 15 ohm and the 600 came out just after that as I recall.

Hope we're not hi-jacking this/ at least it jumps back up the list!
My memory slightly flawed; my Sandwiches are 15 ohm.
My 3090s-just looked - have a huge spec pasted on the back (200 watts music power!) that says Zt 5 ohm min, 10 ohm max 70Hz - 30kHz; Zt 15 ohm 15-70Hz.
(Must try that 15 Hz tone?)
I recall my Father, circa 1971, being advised to get the (2 unit) Sandwiches when he was replacing his Heathkit gear, as "they were better" (than the new 3 unit ones-600s?)
Those WERE 8 ohm (the Sandwiches) Should have kept them....too many things though?
Though, if the 600s came out earlier-I guess he could have got near-new ones; can't ask, he's listening to Angelic choirs and harps.
