I've had a few pairs of these and didn't like them. The sound was pretty coarse and crude.
Half decent looking pair of KEF Concerto speakers. May go cheap? I like these, a good beefy sound with nice mid & top and plenty of detail. More enjoyable in my opinion than the Cadenza and Reference 104.

The old KEF Concertos sounded very good to my ears - but it was a very, very, very long time ago.
Were you , very very very very drunk?? ;)Quote:

Scruffy and dirt cheap JVC JT-V10 tuner. May not look much, but the sound quality is very good indeed.

Lecson HL1 horn speakers. Pretty rare these days, but interesting.

Maybe, but asking £650 for a pair of Goodmans Maxims is ludicrous (see his other items). There was a time when you couldn't even give the damn things away. They are not very good anyway.Quote:

Also visited Puy-de-Dôme & couldn't understand why Volvic needed such a large factory :scratch:
Yes I stayed around there too a couple of times (Bastide D'Armagnac) and couldn't supress a giggle every time I saw a road sign.Quote:

Might suit somebody :cool:
Seems good value, I have the same amp, Technics SU-V303, I think it's very good.Quote:

The only rubbishy bit about it are the speaker cable 'clamps' which wreck the cable ends.Quote:

Yes, the speaker cable clamps would be better if they were ordinary binding posts, however, if cable is not too thick, they work OK. I generally use 6 amp lighting flex, no problem with that.
Thats ridiculous.Quote:

upgrade motor kit is about £130 so that might be the reason.
The seller might be a bit of a shady character though! :lolsign:Quote:

Ten years ago you'd get these at boot sales for less than a tenner. And to me, they're not worth much more to be honest.
NOS Celestion HF2000 tweeters. $495 in Canada. Nice, and they are rare as NOS I suppose, but still seems steep. Good job I've hung onto my mint pair! :D

Yes that is ludicrous. Sellers name is 'trueprices' - that's one for the Trades Descriptions Act right there.Quote:

No mate. Wouldn't part with the Cheviot II's. They're the best sounding Tannoys I've owned. Better than the 12" Golds and HPD's. Got a smaller pair of Ascots too waiting for SRM 10B cones and bigger boxes.Quote:
