Wow there real nice, i like the light ash hardwood base

tried the townshend but they didn`t do it for me

These have just popped on to the 'Bay in anyone fancies them. :)

I've added a pair of Pioneer PT-R4 ribbon super tweets which I got from Japan and I'm very pleased with them.

Excellent looks, built and sound and a fraction of the Townshend ones. In fact they make them look rather home made by comparison, but then high end Japanese gear is always immaculately finished.

Aye great units, how much did you pay for those if you don't mind about £200?

Those pioneers should work well with your speakers Hamish, they have built in high pass filter with user variable frequency

Frequency range: 9,000Hz - 120,000Hz (HPF 20kHz)
10,000Hz - 120,000Hz (HPF 30kHz)

They looked like they cost more than £200 when I had a mooch about tweb the other day!
I'd love to give something like that a go! Maybe when money permits I should give it a try!!
