Nice amps those... Like class A.
I've got one of those, as well as the larger 'Pro' model. The sound quality is quite something. Extremely good by any standards. You could spend £10k and get a lesser sound quality.
Hush yer mouth old chap. Before the prices RISE!Quote:

Not for Hi-Fi. They are PA stage monitors and have very limited cabinet volume and a high driver resonance. The crossover is 2.5kHz in order to protect the tweeter from high inputs, but this does nothing for the normally lovely Tannoy midrange. The drive units can be used in bigger cabinets with the SRM-12X crossover or similar. I've had a pair of these by the way.Quote:

All in lovely condition to be that old. I wonder if it has come out of someone's mansion? Clearly never been gigged.Quote:

Rotel 2RC-1 cartridge. Never seen one before.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rotel-2RC-...3D222068550668
Looks like an MM Dynavector! :)
Not on eBay but this Thorens TD160B Mk 2 and SME 3009 seems to be a bargain for someone. It looks very tidy too.

Pair of handy looking big empty speaker cabinets in Yorkshire. Going cheap so far.

Tannoy Lancaster styling, but slightly smaller I reckon. Could be OK with a bit of extra bracing.
I wonder what was in them, 10" Tannoys?Quote:

Not even worth the £199 starting price, IMHO, let alone the £750 BIN!
Yes. I spotted that pile of junk last night. He needs to order a skip! :)Quote:

Gave me a good laugh that, thanks for posting. If his junk is worth £750 my much better (not stored in a garage) junk must be worth £7500! I'm rich!
Hey we've all been there ...

Guess if everything is worth a tenner then youd get a figure in the 2/300 range...it may be a fairly big if of course but you dont get much for a tenner... Strip a lot of it down and the bits will make you money eventually
The old 'Storage Wars' strategy. 'A box of 100 DVDs at a dollar a pop that's 100 dollars right there!'
Except it isn't. It's just a box of crappy DVDs and a long and financially unrewarding road ahead.
Think maybe they have one too many 000 in that figure?
Ha Ha,bought by his farther in the 70's.What with the drivers and crossovers having gone way off spec by now,i very much doubt they will sound as good as my JPW mini 's.Quote:

Unusual driver set-up on these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXCEPTIONA...3D141955216991
...but look at the frequency spec, they quote at -16dB and -10dB :mental:
They're honest, in other words...Quote:

Technics have been employing rectangular ABRs in a few of their speakers. Not heard any, but they are supposed to be decent.Quote:

Very rare and very good. ESS AMT1 Tower speakers. (Heil Air Motion Transformer)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ess-Atm-1-...UAAOSw9KpW~t-A
I'd love these. I heard a pair years ago. They sounded amazing. The AMT unit gives superb mid and top and the transmission line cabinet produces some of the best bass I've heard.
I like AMT drive units, hence owning Mark & Daniels. No idea how their implementation would compare to these, though. Not going to dump 2K to find out.

S.
it's £2K per speaker and he has 4 speakers so £4k for a pair
At that price I'd want to see photographs that show a bit more than some knackered grille cloth.

Decca C4E FFSS cartridge at £535. Some serious prices being asked these days for vintage Decca carts. They do sound great though.

Not exactly 'mint' is it, either? The front face is all scuffed... If I was paying that price for one, I'd be wanting it in genuine NOS condition (inside and out)!

Very nice Lockwood Majors with built-in Bryston amplifiers here...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Ta...p2056016.l4276
Yummy.
And just down the road from me. I am very tempted, must admit.
G'wan G'wan G'wan Martin, you know you want to!
You could pull and sell the Brystons to offset some of the cost..
I thought you were steadfastly avoiding Tannoys Martin? ;)Quote:

Marco reckoned Tannoys will boom if placed in free space - as I would have to in my room - however I can't find anything on line to back up this hypothesis so they are back on the cards again.Quote:
