FS: SD Acoustics SD1 speakers - ribbon hybrids

[jandl100]

I have some newly acquired Audio Physic Virgos so I need to move these wonderful SD Acoustic SD1 speakers on.

I'd honestly put them up against any £2k RRP modern speaker ... and I'd expect the SD1s to win on sound quality.

4 foot tall, 15 inches wide, about 12 inches deep. Must weigh in at 70lb+ each.

Ribbon tweeter (superb!), 5 inch mid and 10 inch woofer.

Tri-wired terminals.


True classics from the 1980s/90s - Recently re-foamed mids and woofers so these are in top-notch working order.


A bit on the aesthetically challenged side when 'naked' but with the covers on (which sounds fine btw) they look a lot like Vandersteens.

Very easy to drive - my Leak Stereo 20 vintage valve amp has no problems at all, and sounds wonderful!

£250 - which is stupidly good vfm for the superb sound quality on offer. Pickup (GL17 Glos) or I may be able to deliver.

Happy to demonstrate.

These still available? if so I'd be interested

[jandl100]

Probably sold - deal arranged to happen next weekend. I'll post here again if that falls through.

Jerry, you don't half get some interesting kit flow through your place!

[jandl100]

Yup, I have a lot of fun! (see also my latest ad - I've just put it in the Privates!)

Yep, that is one lovely pre-amp matey. Will you ever settle on a system?

Nope. Why should I? - I like trying different kit! Loadsa fun!!

.... I work on the principle that nothing is perfect and investigating different variations on music playback gives you different perspectives on the music. The idea of staying with one particular set of compromises doesn't appeal at all!

Seeing MF there does suggest a bit of a rollercoaster ride

[jandl100]

Errr ... howdya mean, Hans? The vintage MF gear is pretty stunning actually! I'd be happy to put it up against most audiophile amps. Them was the Glory Days of MF.

Indeed, Musical Fidelity used to be fine equipment, over engineered, massively powerful with delicacy and slam and musicality, and in some cases the amplifiers could be used as hotplates. Great stuff and makes a superb used purchase.

Wouldn't buy any of their new stuff though.
