I'm pretty sure RAMs always used Dalesford units, so it probably is the upper unit that has been changed if its a KEF now.

Frankly, I'm more concerned that they weigh "15kg" each. Really? That's not very much!

What's this then no one reads previous posts week?

I asked an eBay seller if they would post a pair of Pageant II's the other week, they replied "I'm sorry but they weigh 30kg each so postage isn't possible." :doh:

Yes please http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/sansui-amp...item27d2c13dab

Yeah according to my owners manual they are 9.6kg each or 22.25kg per pair packed. Still wouldn't listen - I think it was just a poor excuse instead of saying "I cant be arsed to pack them."

The work area of these vehicles was split into 3 different rooms.

Pye used to fit them out for the Beeb. I went in one once for a look around, on a wet day at a cricket match between Sussex & The West Indies at Hove.

Not enough room for Tannoy Lockwoods, but room enough for LS3/5As. :)

You're right - he was referring to a prototype that used B200s.

"The RAM3 used the same units as the RAM2, which was a scaled down version. This was designed before the RAM2, and derived from the first speaker I ever made, which used two KEF B200's for base units, and, whilst sounding good, had an awful impedance curve (two 8 ohm units in parallel) that some amps at the time didn't like."

i thought about having a go at these but forgot cos i was out playing with my engines

anyone know anything about them ?

RAM 3 use a pair of custom Dalesford units. What you been reading? :eyebrows:
