I think he is attempting to quote a negative review from a forum which he then goes on to completely disagree with. Classic demonstration of why it pays to stay awake in grammar and punctuation lessons at school. It can cost you money :)Quote:

Sounds like the power bulb has blown & possibly the pre/power coupling switch is set incorrectly. Even if it is faulty its in lovely condition and would make a nice project :)
I do hope that was an error :stalks:

Never mind what they look like, have a look at the feedback score of only 4 and most of it low value non-hifi. Rather contradicts the description text which says "We've Been On eBAY Since 1998 !!!".Quote:

I know the feeling! I had a pair in my late teens/early 20s and sold them for various reasons, but regretted it as soon as I watched the new owner drive away with them. I bought another pair about 5 years ago and fully refurbished them. They were at Scalford 2011 and they were great!Quote:

Cheap Beyer SUT anybody? £100 'buy it now'.

Crap pair of 'white van man' speakers anybody?

Whopping great Pioneer A757 integrated amp. Very nice and probably sensibly priced at £339! Looks superb.

It must take a great deal of effort to bugger up the countersink in the tops like that - or is it that way on purpose?? Maybe so that some ball bearings will rattle properly?

Also, a sort of "heads up"...
I created a new eBay account last week primarily for buying [good practice to do buying / selling on seperate accounts] It was open for a week & I hadnt bought anything on it, this morning they send me a message "£5.00 off your first purchase of £10.00 or more when paying with PayPal."
So if theres that special something you've wanted but always thought its £5 too much... You know what to do :lol: I just bought myself some new speaker cables, should have been £12 but got them for £7 :yay:
Anyone heard these ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wharfedale...item51b49d94e3
I love the classic styling if not those hideous gold plated plastic encased binding posts ! A couple of M4 bolts hanging out the back that you have to coil some bellwire around before clamping it with the matching nut would have been far more in keeping :D
It may be OK, Van Damme stuff tends to be, but I've found most OFC silver plated speaker cables add an unwanted brightness or brashness, as per QED Silver Anniversary!Quote:

(I'd buy them myself if I didn't already have a big pair of Tannoys)
I had a pair of DMT's, can't remember if they were 12's or 15's, I thought they were very average to be honest.... :(
Just saying like.... :D
Hi Bev.
You been having another of your low profile spells? Not seen much from you recently.
Anyway, the DMT10s use a very different driver to the 12s and 15s which I believe have paper pulp cones. The ten inch DMT 10 has a similar cone to the later System 1000, i.e. plastic, but to my ears sound better than the System 1000, which I've owned. They give very fine results.
Yep I'm still here just more pressing things going on with others that has taken me away for a while.... "I'll be back" :D:DQuote:

Things may be different now though as I have found that speakers I thought rather average then (and that includes the Heresy's!!) I now find I am impressed with.... maybe be ears have changed a bit over the years.... :lol:Quote:
