They were an infinite baffle, I think Barry
Next time you go to the Akihabara and have 148,000 Yen burning a hole in your pocket, you could buy some to check. See here
They sounded horrible. A real 'squawk' to them, badly coloured. But the the drivers were coloured anyway due to the enclosing slotted box chassis and using these small 'pottery' enclosures just aggravated things.Quote:

This is what I call a real "Bargain on ebay"
This seller has obviously got fed up. I've seen this pair listed numerous times. As you say they can't be that bad. They use a version of the Tannoy/Goodmans Imagio DCT driver, which usually sounds OK.Quote:

The drivers look very good and are working perfectly. I was given a demo whilst there. The sound was typical Tannoy DC, very lucid, limited in bass by the small cabinets of course. The drivers etc., will be used in a forthcoming speaker project, using some useful tweaks to update the performance. I'll do a thread on this.Quote:
