God forbid there's anybody stupid enough to buy them.
Crushed? Nah, that's just "signs of cosmetic wear" . . .:lol:Quote:

Thanks, i can only think of engine oil. :oQuote:

so you recommend an ''Ebay for dummie's'' book but was too nice say so, :scratch: S'ok, i can take it.
I've got the eBay Dummies book, but the magazines are useful.Quote:

I used to own a pair of LS55's, in fact mine were an identical finish to this pair. I wasn't that enamoured with them to be honest, the DM2's slaughtered them in every department. My old pair now reside in a recording studio somewhere in Leeds :)Quote:

It's a great amp with one of the best Japanese sound signature of that era. But I couldn't live with the cables hanging out at the front. It spoilt the scene. I was also worried about it being 220V instead of 240V.
On your 'my ebay, summary' page (which is probably your 'home' page), on the left you'll see 'summary'. Below that 'buy', click on it!Quote:

LOVELY CABINETS AND JUST WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR BUT MILES AWAY FROM ME :(
TANNOYS
Way too small, Jon, to do 15 MGs proper justice!! It's either cabs the same size as my Majors or bugger all, if you want to do the job properly! ;)
Marco.
I wood dearly love a pair of original Lockward cabinets like yours but they just don't come up for sale that oftenQuote:

I'm not saying you're wrong, Andy, but I'd need to hear the comparison first, in order to be convinced! ;)
Marco
I'm no expert, but doesn't increasing the horn length allow for more compact dimensions?
Lovely and legendary Sony TA-5650 VFET amplifier. I've owned one, these sound truly amazing! Item in Peterborough.

Celestion Ditton 66 speakers in west London. A lot of bang for your bucks and they sound lovely!

Original Electrocompaniet Class A 25 watt power amp! Ends soon, could be cheap and it's a landmark piece of Hi-Fi, rare now. In Maida Vale, London.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1308330960...84.m1423.l2649
Yamaha NS-670 speakers, close relative of the NS-1000 and very nice indeed. In Rugby.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-NS-...item2c6b89cdf0
These went quite cheaply even @ 660 smackers. I have seen pairs go for much more and in poorer condition.Quote:

Beautiful Hartley 24" woofer in USA. That would definitely make an interesting sub. Postage steep though.

Looks like that woofer can whack you in the belly with bass!Quote:

Decent looking pair of first series Celestion Ditton 15 speakers (with the HF1300 tweeters), badges missing but still nice. Very musical speakers these. Price is fair for nowadays too.

On an Ebay advert today:
Vintage Speakers
VERY RARE
IN GOOD CONDITION
MADE IN ENGLAND
THE BASS WOOFERS WORK GOOD.......JUST NEED RE-FOAMING
STILL HAVE A DECENT SOUND EVEN WITH THE FOAM MISSING
MAGNETIC S ARE WORKING GREAT
.........AND ONE TWEETER IS FAULTY
...Stereo separation is astounding, at least it has been since the wife got custody of one of the units during the divorce and subsequently moved to Aberdeen with her new fella. Pick up only from Penzance...Quote:

"So I charged a man named George Chenchen, who professed to be an expert in audio equipment, with helping me design our amplifier, the Amstrad 8000 (this production coincided with changing the company name to Amstrad Limited). Turns out he knew sod all and we had to go through countless stages of being told the sound quality was crap because he was incapable of following the basic principles of what produced high quality amplifier sound."

A nice little starter into the world of classical music

Fantastic stuff. If I had more room, I'd have put a bid on that!
