Very nice indeed. Bargain price too. I love big Altecs.Quote:

I'm not sure what that's all about... Is it legit or someone's DIY project? I can't determine whether it's a bargain and beautiful or overpriced rubbish. What do we know about this deck?Quote:

It does look cool, though.
If I lived near Sevenoaks, this Kenwood DP 7090 would be very tempting.

IMF Super Compact £100

Good price, but possibly wrong tweeters and mids.Quote:

I guess some things may have been replaced as part of the £600 refurbishment!Quote:

Fancy these but are in Kent so I'm buggered. May be very good, but at the worst they are nice cabs..... pity so I will point folk in their direction:(
I'd not bother Grant. The EMI 350 unit was not brilliant (not as bad as the 450 though). Dirt cheap in its day. The cabinets I'd estimate are the same sort of size as the IMF Super Compact.Quote:

They were pretty good. But not worth anything like that much. Good examples are getting scarcer, but if I was after a pair I'd expect to pay the usual (these days) £400 (ish) value. Twenty five years ago, they'd have been worth £30.Quote:

I know what you're saying. The 350 had the decent enough main cone and surround, as used on other better drivers, but was unfortunately stuck with an inadequate little magnet. The tweeter lacked the pretty effective vinyl cone surround on the better units. The vinyl surround EMI tweeters were quite good, but not as good as the contemporary little Goodmans tweeter with similar vinyl surrounds and an alnico magnet and a nice felted paper cone. I remember experimenting with these tweeters and was very impressed by the Goodmans units.Quote:

I put in question marks as this is from memory from many years ago. The 450 certainly has a small magnet, but the 150 had the smallest magnet of all the 13" x 8"s.
The EMI paper cone tweeter that sounded best to me were the early ones that had Alnico magnets.
Must be something good about them, Tom. But never heard any myself. NOS I suppose.
£1,805.00
24 bids, with 6 days to go!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KEF-B139-S.../272114658483?
How much?
And they're used, not even new old stock.
I'm in the market for a single KEF B139 SP1044 but am hoping to pay about a tenth of that!
Perhaps they were rarely imported into Germany or something.
lol... some people.
Wonderful! I know I have seen some of them before but I can't remember where it was. Some old building in Liverpool I think. I'm a sucker for that art-deco era stuff.Quote:
