Still got these to try out. Modern Chinese L Cao alnico 8" units, based on the classic Mitsubishi Diatones from the sixties.

The design and finish on these is outstanding. Note the vented rear spider. No compression effects.

Early KEF B139 with foam surrounds and Celestion HF1300 or similar model. I believe Radford made a speaker like this in the late sixties. They won't sound very nice. The B139 is hopeless at anything above 500Hz.Quote:
