They are the Pro version which are more expensive. I'm not sure what the differences are beyond better power handling though.
Even the Pro versions are only £51 each ! :scratch::scratch:Quote:

There are billions of those speakers about so you can always get a cheaper deal somewhere.
I have some as the rears on my A/V set up. Not the pro version, though but as I say I don't think there is much/any difference beyond the power handling.
I had an original pair from the '80s, made by JBL in the USA, then later in Taiwan.Quote:

Originally in black but later only in silver.
The prof. market ( served by Studiospares, etc. ) brought out the 'Pro' version,
differentiate it from the cheaper version.
The cabinet is now used by other makers for speakers similar to the Control 1.
Good price- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Castle-Che...3D172017055943

What's a Marlux direct drive turntable? Never heard of that. Looks OK though, bottom half has the appearance of a Pioneer PL-51.

The original arms are pretty good. 9.5" .. the tt itself is not greatQuote:

Mega rare, early Decca International arm metal headshell only £25 'buy it now'. Does not fit the later International with the nasty plastic headshell.

Tannoy DC3000 at £1200? One '0' to many in my opinion. The guy's a chancer.

£25 UK del - more expensive than IKEA Lack, and a bit smaller, but much nicer looking, imo. :)
Takes about a week to arrive from Germany.
Also just right for a laptop and mouse.
These look very nice indeed for the money . :)
I agree. They look decent and good value.Quote:

Hart Audio's interpretation of how Tannoys should be. I suspect those little rear drivers are used with a lot of equalisation.Quote:

I agree. I'm watching them, we'll see what happens at crunch time.....Quote:

Hmm, personally I think Supertweeters are venturing into Snake Oil & Fairy dust territory.... :sofa::But I agree on the damping,Quote:

I thought Lowther speakers had Lowther units installed not Audex :scratch:
And these look like they have been painted black ?
The Acoustas would have had Lowther drive units in originally. But it's just a folded horn box and substituting other drivers is not unheard of. At least these are likely to be less forward than the originals (probably PM6 units).Quote:

I could only afford the Elac at the time.
I remember the Paraline. I might even still have an article on it somewhere.Quote:

Always fancied a pair of these:

They do look very similar don't they... but I guess I have enough speakers for the time being... 3 sets is enough for anyone... mind you I did just sell my Klipsch (which I hope I don't regret!) :doh:Quote:

Oh my word Alex.... maybe you have a problem... :eyebrows: a very nice problem to have though.... if I had the room I would have kept every speaker I ever owned which would amount to quite a hoard.....which are the ones you use though ? I'm guessing Spendor :DQuote:
