He's producing quite a comprehensive range of plinths that look to be pretty good quality.
Nope, but they look nice.
Tempted to get one of the 301 plinths.Quote:

I think the clone LS3/5 cabinets are fine but, selling them with Rogers decals on the back may be sailing a little too close to the wind.
Whilst I would agree that we should be wary of scammers and rogues, the fact is they are in in every country, the sellers and feedback should be sufficient to determine whether to buy from them or not.
Also, I happen to have a couple of colleagues from Moldova who happen to some of the most pleasant, honest people you could hope to meet and I found the comment "and from Moldova" a little presumptuous and, although I don't think it was intended, it does come across as a little Xenophobic.
Nice move, dude. Trust me, once you're used to listening to pristine clean records, there's no going back! ;)Quote:

Who made clone drivers with the same hole mountings? Was it SEAS? Crossovers from Wilmslow could complete the project. Hmm, might be nice as near-field monitors for my PC.Quote:

An old friend and colleague from the mid 70's is going to have a go at making some, since he has fond memories of his original Audiomaster ones from this period.
