Hi Neil,
Good spot, matey! They should defo give high SPPV and someone a lot of fun for that dosh.
However, Lockwoods only become really special, in my experience, when fitted with 15" Monitor Reds or Golds - that's where the real actions starts, albeit of course at a price! :cool:

Hi Andy,
I agree, although I also love (good) LS3/5as, for different reasons. I've always fancied a pair of 1960s Maxims, and will likely get some for the forthcoming kitchen project, as I can't think of anything more ideal for the job! :)Quote:
I had a pair of the Maxims about ages ago and they certainly are amazing little speakers. The bass from the long throw drivers with huge alnico magnets is very impressive for their size. The HF cone tweeter is not bad but not up to madern standards.
They are reasonably easy to drive but like BC1's, the voice coils are prone to burn out if abused.
Should have kept mine as they were absolutely mint with matching amp and tuner but was offered £650 for the set and was tempted.
They are definitely more enjoyable than LS3/5a's.
Marco.
Err - what's happening? I thought this was a thread for "House and Gardens"?
Sorry, I was confused - the LS3/5A's are superb, but it must be remembered they are were designed for near field listening and their strengths are the mid range (i.e. speech)!
There aren't many of these left in this condition.

Does anyone have a theory as to why this guy consistently lists spare parts for bicycles in the Home Audio section?
Oooh... Don't tell Nick or he'll have a wee accident! :eek:Quote:
