Could get to a grand I guess but that is getting into Cheviot territory.
The seller also has a nice Yammy tuner. Very low bid so far and not so much time to go to auction end.

I actually prefer the Eaton's HPD295A tonally, to the Cheviot/Devon HPD315. It just seems to sound sweeter for some reason.
I'm always stunned by the sound of the Eatons. My Berkeleys are currently deconstructed so listening to the Eatons currently. Loads of texture, definition and outright engagement.
I always knew you were a generous soul Edward but you don't have to be so modest as to remain anonymous [emoji23]Quote:

Shame about the horrible colourations. Me and Lowthers don't get on. :)
Agreed! I lived with a pair of Lowther Acoustas with the PM6 drivers for a couple of years. Superb attack and sensitivity, but coloured as tomato soup, with an abrupt low frequency cut-off.Quote:

These are a giveaway in my view https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mission-7...QAAOSwLzxdUXVX
Punchy, detailed and very well balanced with superb imaging, never a hint of fatigue. I cannot praise them enough.
I will always have a soft spot for the Mission 752 Freedom, it was hard letting mine go.
"Shame about the horrible colourations. Me and Lowthers don't get on."
I changed an Elac driver in a paraline cabinet, (mono), for a PM6, and used that before going stereo with Tannoys.
Very fast, odd design, and I remember Donald Chave walking up Bromley High St to Smiths to buy cartridge paper with which to make the cones.
I have a Hi-Fi Choice - a smaller one, in which it says that Lowthers have one serious coloration which alone invalidated them from being considered Hi-Fi, and that there were many others also.
Yes , I still have mine (in Rosewood) on the AV system . I must take the Tannoy 635' Profiles off the hi fi and swap around to the Missions again ,just to see if they were as good as I remember :eyebrows:Quote:

You say that but at least we know it's still working:Quote:

Magnet looks like some of the Wharfedale ones.

Fairly sure it's the remains of a Whiteley (Stentorian) driver, HF1012 maybe. (yes, I've owned some :)). It's not worth a carrot!
Probably still works as a magnet [emoji3465]Quote:

and a bargain in Hull

In the first pair you highlight, one speaker has a non-standard replacement bass driver and is best avoided.Quote:

It's the 12" driver from the contemporary 'Pro' Goodmans range of the time and intended to work with the Hifax mid/treble horn, but as you say, best avoided.Quote:

Apparently it's been "stored". In the canal by the look of it. Still, if the bidding stays low I might be tempted. Looks like a Mk2 to me?
Seems the Quad 306 is rather more appreciated in Japan.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QUAD-306-...sAAOSw8aBdTjJY
Having said that, there is definitely an upward trend in 306 prices in the UK. Asking prices seem around £100 higher than a year or two back.
Glad I bought myself a couple. Nice sounding amp! :)
World's cheapest passive pre-amp. Less than three quid!
Yes, I've mentioned it before, but it works really well with any power amp I've tried, so maybe somebody might want to try one. You could pay this much or more just for the pot.

Big vintage KLH speakers. Model 5, in Leyton, London. Lovely!

Never heard of KLH - presume they’re good, Geoff?Quote:

Thanks for that Geoff - heard of all the other brands just KLH has never crossed my path before - every day’s a school day!
I always wanted to hear the KLH 9 'room divider' electrostatics.
I don't recall even seeing a picture of those Barry.Quote:

Today I might be disappointed in them, just as I was disappointed when I heard the Dayton-Wright electrostatics many years ago.
Would make a good bedroom system. The ladies can use them to protect their modesty :)

Tannoy DC100 speakers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tannoy-DC...IAAOSwpFVdfAks
Don't be tempted, they're a poor example of dual concentrics, dull, two dimensional and coloured. The larger DC200 are even more coloured.
If you want cheap, the DC1000 will run circles around either.
Really I didn't know the DC1000 was any good, is it worth keeping and eye out? Is the 2000 good too?Quote:
