Is that all? :eek: Holy crap, even my small homemade Yam 4 ways weigh in at over 10 stone each with the drivers fitted (140lbs or 63Kgs) :eyebrows: Only 36L internal volume this way...Quote:

Is that with amp packs inside?
Lol, I know what you're saying, but they work superbly well (you have to remember that the cabinets are over 50 years old!) :)
I think Ian Walker's Canterburys, with 15" drivers are 'only' 65kg each - and those are £15k new!
Marco.
I could be wrong but I think Lockwood did use to offer a granite enclosure - of course if Marco went for that option if he moves to Wynn Hall he will have to leave the speakers for the new owners:lol:Quote:

You'd be blown away by the difference imo ;)
Apologies for the slight thread drift :eyebrows:
Lol - noooooooooooo.... They're a classic design, dude (in terms of their shape and loading), so I wouldn't risk touching them :)Quote:

Hey, if they were good enough for Abbey Road studios to use when mixing the original Beatles and Stones albums, then I guess they'll 'do' for me! ;)
Best get back to Alex's speaker dilemma.... :cool:
Marco.
If someone can find me a pair of Lockwoods like Marco's for £750 I'll put up with the "flimsy" cabinets! :lol:Quote:

Hehehehe... Big Ears Audio currently has a pair for £3500 (factor in another £800 for crossover mods, and yer away) - cheap as chips, shweety! ;)Quote:

mmm this is an interesting thread, thanks for starting it off Alex.
I still have a vacancy after selling the PMCs and those Leemas look interesting. For a third of the list price they've got to be a good deal.
I've been keeping an eye out for older Harbeth Compact 7s and ProAc studio 100s, but the buggers are as rare as a Leyton Orient away win.
I may have to give them a demo. Marco, in your view how would they compare and would my Sugden A21a drive them ok? They are rated at 87.5 dB.
