I like the thoughtful use of a platter weight :lol:
Sorry, it is late Friday night and I am feeling grumpy.

Vintage KEF Concerto speakers in Sutton Coldfield. Need a bit of a tidy, but drivers look sound. Excellent old speakers these, a significant cut above your Dovedales and Magnums. BIG sound and surprisingly decent too, transparent mid, plenty of punch and well detailed! Definitely a classic. These are a bit below the radar and comparatively cheap so far, but I predict prices will go silly soon. Well worth grabbing!

I've never read such a load of rubbish.

'custom made from seasoned wood' They're chipboard. It's a butchered pair of Celestion Ditton 15's that have the wrong drive units. A total bodge!
was his custom to make them in the spring ;)Quote:

I’m not too convinced to be honest. The sound was definitely different (tighter bass and more controlled) but the imaging and space in the soundstage seemed to suffer.
For the moment at least, I’ve gone back to the Precious Metals. May give these a go on an alternative source.

The seller also has a 50 pence piece they're selling for £5.99 :doh:
Re: the celestion guy
In my system the bass is much better controlled and the imaging really did open out. Had some very slight sting in the upper treble at first, but as the running hours are moving on that has gone.Quote:
