I like the look of that elliptical midrange unit. I'd guess early 70s, look in really good nick. The HK origin is interesting but there is nothing on the net at all about Spectrum or the Radio People in Kowloon. If they are close to you would be worth a punt for fifty notes.Originally Posted by JohnJo

Hi Grant, found Spectron (pretty close to Spectrum!) speakers from Canada on the web. Seemed to be an offshoot of Philips. Could that be the ones you remember? As Marco says can't find a thing about these anywhere.

Agreed. Look like a bit of fun for £50 (offer £30!) but I'm not opening those floodgates. Just nosing. I'd have the house full in no time if I start picking up old gear again. Sticking with what I've got....for now!!!!

When I saw those bass units, I though "Philips", but they are not quite like the usual ones.

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!”

If you Google 'the radio people ltd' it seems they use Wharfdale units. Never heard of them but it was a shop in Hong Kong that imported Whardale speakers and made some of their own using Wharfdale drivers.
