Does mention in the description that the cones have been doped. Done right would make the response smoother at a cost of some sensitivity.

Seems like the studio closed back in the late 1980s or early 90s.

If you look at photos 15 then 18 I think someone has painted the cone with the same paint they used for the cabinet. It looks like it might have gone on the surround as well. I wouldn't be touching them with a bargepole.

Yes I see what you mean.

Also the cabs seem way too small for those drivers to operate optimally.

I did say they were 'interesting' but not necessarily for the right reasons :)

Just out of interest how easy is it to recone a hard edged Tannoy? Is it just a case of glueing the cone to the chassis and does someone even make hard edged cones still?

Tuner really only a showpiece but this has always been my favourite QUAD pre with volume knob on the remote instead of up/down buttons.

And the orange display ofc. Lots of bids so far.

Despite admiring the elegant aesthetics, and undoubted fine sound quality, I try to eschew anything that requires the use of a remote control. Can't do anything about TVs and DVD players, but I can and do with audio equipment.

My Levinson CDP has a remote, but it is not necessary to use it to operate the player.

Agree there's no need for a CDP remote but remote control of volume is handy.

I do have remotes for the amp and the CD player. After trying them once I took the batteries out, and they're now in a drawer somewhere. I don't mind getting up to do the work myself, the exercise is good for me.

If you live close enough, buy buy buy!

Yes please! Shame they're all the way over in Italy.

I was after some of them for years and years.
