I have considered getting it together to come to one of these shows Andre but tbh if they’re anything like they used to be many years ago you cant really get a fair impression of how things sound; too much activity and systems set up in less than ideal circumstances etc etc.
I just end up getting confuzzeled with the noise :doh:
Anyway, from what little I can tell the 66’s look like they may be off to a good start with the basic design. Not too happy with the electrolytics though or the hardwiring. I had those back in the 70’s so they must be on their way out by now.
Still, if they sound okay, that’s what matter eh ;)

Ever seen a pair of Ditton '66' fitted with '66 Series II' 'mids!

John its not only about hearing systems it about meeting like minded people and having good chats and lots of laughter

I’m a shy boy really and I would prolly say the wrong thing and get a days ban :doh:

Hi Tim
Could you do us a favour please and pop in to the Welcome area, introduce yourself and tell us what system you have and the music you like?
Cheers!

nice one marco... about 10 years ago a pair of 66's were in the local secondhand shop... i scoffed at them... wish i hadn't.. they where about £60 if i remember correctly
it's suprising how good alot of the old kit sounds,
and old speakers do well
in the last few weeks i been having a good mess with some of my collection, the one that suprised the most so far are a pair of b&w dm1's, not with the emi drivers, a 6" ish bass driver and a couple of tweeters.. really nice for a small speaker i too have a pair of celestion ditton 15 but not the xr version same tweeter as the b& w's... i'll have to give them a try...
they all sound well and quite loud with a just a couple of watts.
i also got a single pye corner speaker a few weeks ago, its very tannoy sounding ;)
cheers
steve
