celestion ditton 44's .
i bought these today,they appear to have slipped under the AOS radar! :)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vintage-sp...vip=true&rt=nc
good price Jamie
Unusual grilles hanging on the rad there but I suppose you can leave them off for listening.
Fancy something a bit special and rare? Coral Beta 8 full range drive units. Beautiful!

Nah. They're pants! :lol:Quote:

These miserable things are not at all good. I'd not advise anybody to bother with them. Even the cheap DC1000 is way better.

I hope nobody is daft enough to buy them!
Depends. The Eatons can be found for around £350 to £450 and they sound lovely. Proper alnico pepperpot dual concentric monitor units in those. (I've had five pairs)Quote:

Good spot on those Celestions, Jamie. I had a pair for a bit they do have some strengths and some weaknesses you need to compensate for.
Good northerner amp!

So you need to sit relatively close to the speaker - but as they are a 3 way you need a bit of distance for the drivers to integrate so there is a sweet spot re distance from speaker to listener, I would say between 8 to 12 feet. An amp with big or warm bass will sound a bit thick and ploddy with them, so ideally you want to use amplification that is lean and clean, same with the source.Quote:

Anyway that is what I found, they didn't suit me in the end due to my room size and layout. Might be ideal in yours. If not you could certainly move them on at no loss, or even a profit if you wanted to when the market picks up again in the Autumn.
More eBay lunacy. Pioneer PL-112D currently bid up to £256!!! :eek: Totally bonkers!!!
Last time I bought one was from a boot sale for £12. Even now I wouldn't value a mint one at more than £50.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pioneer-PL...item25a9a53981
That seller is having a good week. His Sony SS-7200 speakers are currently bid up to an astonishing £520 with over a day still to go.Quote:

I sold my Pl112D for €50 a couple of months ago and made 100% profit. I thought I was doing well.:(Quote:

They're groovy man :)
big R A Pavane's..... look in good condition..... pity they are London for me as I dont trust the courier not to drop em
....another pair in London, only a fiver so far

I've had a couple of pairs in the past. A mate still has the last pair. They sound pleasant, but are not exactly the last word in resolution and they suffer a real lack of bass extension for their size, due to the very stiff cone surround and high bass driver resonance. I wouldn't bother with them again. I'd far sooner have a good pair of Magnum K2s or Dovedale IIIs.Quote:

To run bi-wired on Q.E.D. silver anniversary speaker cable.
Budget is flexible if the item is good value for the outlay.
Thank you all in anticipation.
The Q.E.D. is the white variety, I have been told the black sounds slightly superior, but took that information with a fair amount of scepticism.
What does the membership think to these as a proposition please?
Ah. All becomes clear now. :DQuote:

Overcooked spaghetti, wet string or bell wire all sound better than the white QED anniversary. It is, in my opinion the harshest, nastiest "Audiophile" cable on the planet. I had 20 metres of it which I threw out as I was too embarrassed to sell it on.Quote:

Would you be so gracious as to forward some recommendations please?Quote:
