    Hi Shane
    Not sure, but if anyone has an Hi-Fi rag from around 1976, they could tell you. I have a pair of Pageant 2' boxed in the lock Up..I thought they were a great speaker, the 'DSB208' Bass units sounded superb..

    I put the owners handbook together with a scan of the aluminium back plate, up in the library if your intrested..

    Around £120 the pair IIRC.. When the Mission 770 cost this much, the Pageant prices had shot up I think.

    Wish I'd kept all the KJ catalogue/price-lists I had, but I think I gave and chucked a whole load of printed stuff away when Dad moved home in 1999

    You need a pair of Mordaunt-Short 'Signifers' Shane they use the same bass unit as the Paegant..

    Hi Andre, I seem to remember the 'Signifier' as being a three way speaker with a 12" bass driver and a midrange cone with surrounds that crumbled away after about three years.



    It was a decent speaker, but not a patch on the Spendor S100, which was about the same size and price back then.

    Geoff.

    The Signifer was a bit "dry" and over-damped sounding, but basically very well behaved. A "bit of juice" would definitely wake 'em up
