I like the look of the vintage ones, but the only thing that'd put me off is the weird shape, low and squat... You'd need pretty weird looking custom-made speaker stands to a) support their full dimensions, and b) to get them up to the correct ear height, as they seem so low to the ground....

around '73/'74, the terminals are underneith. the stands are only bolted on underneith also. they are tremenous speakers. those 90's castles arnt proper castle.

Regarding low stands, quiet a few designs were low mounting B&W 'DM2' is one i can think of..Actually when i bought my Spendor 'SP-1' they were on very low stands with castors around 6" high, doubt they were spendor stands but they were perfect diamentions to the cabinet

Not an ideal height for the tweeters being at the proper ear level, though dude!

If I owned speakers like that (or the rather nice Castles above, which I agree would be miles better than the 90s ones) I'd put them on custom-made stands, like Dave says 16-18 high, and I bet they'd be fab :)

O yes they need taking off those stand & geting custom open frame stands made.

Here Post #24 they are mine at the top also the low profile bolted on stands..You can see on howards pictured below how easy it is to un-bolt the babies..

Very cool, on condition we don't start bidding against each other! There's plenty to go round.

Unless i'm mistaken, this could be the very same pair which seduced me at HiFi dave's place eighteen months or so ago. The gent loved them so much, he upgraded to the bigger ones...

Well worth a punt, as they're so smooth but with all the fun intact.......
