Damn well want to be at that price, nasty little things. I've seen them go for more, it mystifies me. :mental:Quote:

Walpurgis, what are your thoughts on the Musical Fidelity Reference 2 (mirrored pair)?
I wonder what the "patent applied for" crossover is about ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/used-yorks...item51af8ed2a9
I've heard an awful lot of gear, but I've never listened to a pair of these I'm afraid.Quote:

Poor reliability? The loading tray tends to play up on older machines.
The crossover had a constant impedence of 8 ohms. Not sure if Kef tried the idea around the same time. There's a posting by the son of YHF speakers on PFM. He gives a few details.Quote:

I think Kef's implementation was known as the Kube. I could just be talking bollocks here though. Anyway, the idea was for the amp to see a constant (more or less) load.

Very tempted - I like vintage JVC electronics (esp the digifine and the K2 lines)
these are right in my home town , the seller cant be more the a mile from me!

This is great CD spinner - I know, I have one myself :eyebrows:
It's sound is not unlike the earlier Wadia and Krell players, with s-p-a-c-e between the sounds so everything is separated out into it's individual component parts. Great to listen to for hours.
It's in better nick than mine AND it has a remote control, which is very rare.

Tannoy T115 Speakers. Perhaps a tad pricey??
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1908732178...839%26_rdc%3D1
"a tad pricey" is an understatement. I gave away a pair of the better and bigger T225s a while ago, I'd bought them at a boot sale for £18 and passed them on to a friend. They sounded OK but nothing special. Nowadays I'd say a fair price for a mint pair of T115s is £50. You can get a pair of far nicer DC1000s for less money .Quote:

Hi Shane, I've heard this model two or three times and it does sound nice because EL34 amps generally do, but it's not a great EL34 amp, it's been done a lot better.Quote:

Anyway, drop by and see me sometime. We'll get some sounds on! Geoff.
Perhaps later in the week, Geoff. Maybe I'll bring my Quad 303 over...interesting to see how it sounds through your Tannoy's !!Quote:

Ending very shortly. Mordaunt Short MS400 speakers. These are a bit of a classic from the seventies, very decent sound quality. I'd buy them myself if I had room.

Had one and liked the 330c better, strangely I've read that same opinion on several forums aswell!
Technically the 330c is worst but it has a very sweet sounding power amplifier stage much like the Marantz 2215 which in a medium>small room with mid>high sensitivity speakers could be all one ever needs. I can highly recommend the 930 which is a beast !Quote:

Now that... If I could lay my hands in a 930, a different story...
nice for the deeper pocket

What are your thoughts on the SRM 10B aka Little Red's? Some guy selling a pair locally with a interesting price tag.
Very nice. They seem to be selling at around £700 at the moment. Anything less makes them more attractive!Quote:

They are a bit more expensive but serviced by Lockwood. :scratch:
Couldn't resist it... always looking for Keesonic, JBL's and stuff, ended buying another B&W's, this time a pair of D5's to make companion to my DM1's!
Vitavox CN191's :drool:

Oooh, very nice! Unused too. Now where did I put my piggy bank?Quote:

Are these monstrously expensive little B&W speakers really worth the money? And this is the second hand price!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bowers-Wil...item4ac6f507f7
'Worth the money' is a relative term, but there are nine of them for that price. It's about half of the retail value, so probably somewhere about right at that.
I know nothing about this model, but these tiddlers would have to be pretty damn good to work out at over a grand a pair, used (plus the odd one). You'd get a pair of far more useful Tannoy System 1200's for maybe less than that! I know where my money would go.Quote:

Wow... Should really have left them alone :FACEPALM:
I don't have any feelings either way about these speakers, but to be devil's advocate for a moment, if you know nothing about them, how do you know a Tannoy System 1200 is far more useful?
More sensitive, they'll go louder and sound really nice! Plus, they'll sound like Tannoys. What's the imaging going to be like on the B&Ws with that driver arrangement? I'm sure it won't matter for their intended use in theatres, but in domestic Hi-Fi, probably not so good.Quote:

Nice little deck, the same as my first proper Hi-Fi TT, it sounded pretty damn good with an ADC 10E Mk.IV in it.
