I remember the smaller 'Quartet' & matching Amplifiers ie: 'Signature' Pre..
By the time that series came along I'd left the company so I never heard them, but I seem to remember PJC telling me a while ago that the Sextets were his favourite of all the speakers he designed at Heybrook.
Nice speakers. The models with the tweeter level switch are supposed to be better balanced and easier to match to room. Very low levels of cabinet colouration IMHO.Quote:

Bass port (2 I think) is in the bottom of the cabinet.
The tweeters are now unobtanium.

I see they are later ones with the Gold lettering on the front & Bi-Wire facility. I bought mine around 1985/6 they had Green lettering/piping ''Made For Music'' on the front single posts.. I also had those 'HSB-1' Stands.. A All round good efficient speaker.Quote:

These look lovely. They appear to be in great condition, and opinion seems to be that these are good speakers. But, are they a bargain or overpriced?
even with free post they are overpriced in comparison to what they usually go for..maybe half that
