Thats just reminded me Andre,Ive got some bumf on Onix, they were made just outside in Newhaven i think, i will go and dig it out this week

Had these for about 2 weeks in the early 80's till the ole Lady asked them to leave. 25W. X 25D inches. x 5Ft. high. Oministats :steam:

They look interesting! How did they sound?

The best I could describe would be a fast omnidirectional electrostat, they were a bit large for the room at that time. Richard Shahinian's venture into electrostatic omni's..

They look like one of Neil's (Dalek Supreme) relatives! Interesting though, as Ali says, and I guess I can understand your wife's point of view - "a face only a mother could love" springs to mind! ;)
