Crazy people out there. A pair of early seventies KEF Cresta speakers selling at £255! Why?
They are nasty sounding little things, the crude crossover does them no favours and they don't even have matching bass drivers.

They look horribly cheap to me. I'm not into foo but it always seems wise to make joins and solid as possible. (This was about the plugs and sockets of course)
He mentioned the magic formula - LS35A - 101s might almost have been worth it but Crestas???? One rather pleased seller I suspect.Quote:

I could certainly use some smaller old style banana plugs of around 3mm diameter. Regular 4mm are too big for one application I have in mind.Quote:

Because the Belling Lee silver plated speaker plugs are actually very good and I doubt that there are any modern speaker plugs that are significantly betterQuote:

However bear in mind your looking at over £100.00 before you start for part exchanging the Idler Wheels & Pinch Roll..
