Marco.
Also they were designed to be bi-amplified, thus each requiring an electronic crossover and an additional power amp. More expense.
Indeed... But what might the results be? I'm thinking in comparison with some of the overpriced cack today's high-end offers, which is many times the price.
Yes, I still believe you can get high SPPV even at this level.
Marco.
The 4344 is maybe a bit more manageable size-wise.

Yeah, they're nice too, but I don't think I'd swap my Tannoys for them.

Was at Cranage this year (First time as a punter lol) and listened to this in the Radford room with a pair of M100's and RFC Rubato standmounts. Still trying to figure out how those floorstanders produced the bass they were. Amazing stuff, and one of the best sounds of the show for me, just a great sound. They were playing this - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/198131000393
If you fancy some serious Dub, just buy it. SQ is first rate.
Vintage kit? Well the list is long:
Studer C37 reel-to-reel recorder
Leevers-Rich E Series reel-to-reel recorder
Another Nagra IV-S portable reel-to-reel recorder,
Another EMT 930 turntable
Marantz 10B tuner
Nems-Clarke mutiwaveband tuner
Breuer Dynamic 8C tonearm
Thomas Schick 12" tonearm, to use with an Ortofon SPU, just to see what the fuss is about
Neumann DST moving-coil cartridge
An EMT XSD cartridge fitted with a Fritz Gyger stylus.
That's enough to be going on with for now!
I just want one of these and my set up will be complete:
