Bargains on ebay?

I've forgotten who it was, but someone on PFM had some SRM15's ? with thick slate "top hats" sitting on the tops which improved them further.

The 'T' range all used the same 10'' Dual Concentric, the T225: Mayfair & T185: Dorset were the ones with the ABR, T145: Ascot & the T165: Chester were the ones without

Ultimately I will be running the statics with direct coupled valve amps,so that is not really practical for an AV type system as the amps will consume a LOT of power, so will just be used for music. I currently have a pair of DIY MLTL's using Fostex Fe167e's with Fostex Fe17h supertweeters that I use for AV,but these are really tozwo good for this purpose,being very good at playing music but a little refined for AV.

Now,I've read on a few forums that a lot of folks like using these types of Tannoys for AV,so what would you advise? DC 2/3000's,or would I be better with 638's or 615's?

The Tannoy 600 series were squitty little tight a*sed things as I remember and better suited to budget systems with the speakers against a wall with flower-pots or ornaments on to complement the odd shape. NOTHING like the 2000's or 3000's which, despite their ugly proportions or cheaper finish, have a fair amount of the magic of the "real" ones. Indeed, I believe Tannoy made some "proper" alternatives using developments of the HPD series drivers, but I don't think they sold much in the UK and I never saw them in the flesh. By this time you see, one bought an LP12 with NAD amp and some Wharfedale Diamonds to make up a properly balanced system :rolleyes:

Quick

I've been watching them for a while, i'm suprised they are not fetching more but there's time i suppose.

I watched a pair last year and they rocketed from less than £100 to nearly a grand in the last two minutes. So the current low price is more than likely a prelude to the final fireworks.

I've just won myself an old Mission 'DAD7000R' CD player, this was the first CD player i bought in the mid 80's..There will be a hundred & one thing to do to it service wise but the most important is to modify it to Non Over Sampling..

This machine uses the Philips 'CDM1' Transport & 'TDA1540' dual dacs which are mono 'TDA1541'..Anyway it's near mint working, boxed with handbook & Remote £63.00..you'll do for me.
