IMHO not worth that much but they bring big kudos in Hong Kong.

Agreed from what i have heard certainly not good SPPV, the same goes for the TL10's, i had my pair fully serviced complete with new old stock Mullards and still found them a bit well "dull" so sold them on, the stereo 20 pisses all over them

I'm getting seriously effing miffed with eejits that try to re-foam drivers, make a right pigs ear of it then try & flog them for top dollar :brickwall::steam: :wanker::donk::spank:

The radial ribbing is due to the cone construction. The cones are built up from strips of doped paper/material.

I've heard a pair of the earlier field coil versions in a large open baffle that were paired with radial horns and I was amazed at how fast fast and detailed the bass lines were. They are also quite a large driver at 19".

Well I suppose it's better than scrapping them. I've put new surrounds on speakers with very acceptable results. Those Heybrooks look as though they may have been done right and I suppose it's up to the individual to decide whether they're worth the asking price. Not that I'd pay that much for them myself.

Since when would a bit of recent Chinese electronics be regarded as "vintage"?

Beefy pair of EMI elliptical 8 ohm bass drivers in excellent condition at a good price! Nice.

I have used this driver and they are pretty punchy.

never mind that, why has he got a cable connected to both 8 ohm terminals and nothing
on the return ?

An old (ish) Sugden A21a, looks nice. Someday I must hear one !!

They are scrap now IMO. Problem is whoever did those no doubt feels they did a good job & will probably go on to do more :doh: I'm not too bothered when its AR8/AR18's but to ruin something half decent... :(

Sogden amplifier anyone ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sogden-A28...11110960470%26
