    The cones have some of the lightest material in the FB cones, which makes them incredibly quick and agile. They certainly deliver bass even though its as sealed cab. Their sound is clean and even though they are wide fronted, the imaging is excellent. I'm a big fan and they are ridiculously underated.
    I wouldn't sell mine at all. I even have a full set of replacement drivers for them. But if I was to sell them, I would be lucky to get a ton. That's the bizarre thing about hi-fi; how good it is and how much it is worth can be two entirely different things.

    I've got the sw-156s and think they look sweet, wouldn't sell them either.

    Fifty quid's about right. I'll bet that behind the fancy slotted lenses (which are probably plastic), lurk cheapo paper cone tweeters. If they're really dreadful, they'll have silver dust caps!

    it is about right but I'd say from experience they will be a lot better than you think. Lovely condition and with the proper stands and original boxes, too.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    They do look flimsy compared to other drivers but as Martin says they do surprise you, and I do think they look pretty without grills on.

    Tannoy T145 Ascots with 'wallpapered' cabinets in London. Still well worth having, they are proper pepperpot dual concentrics.

    Being a bit stupid, is the 'dust cap' an acoustically transparent cover over the high frequency horn part of the dual-concentric driver?
