Would love to hear these as I love the sound I'm getting out of my modest MS400's, I would imagine these would share a lot of the same attributes only bigger and better.
A mainly digital setup with a musical amplifier and endearing 1970's speakers. A CD player that hardly ever gets used and a turntable that is good enough to remind my how enjoyable my old vinyl is. Some cables and things.

Wow Mark, they look to be in fabulous condition. They really are quite a rare speaker. I guess you're getting used to them at the moment but I can tell you mine are the best sounding speaker I've ever owned, and I've had a few lol.

Very nice indeed, i've always had a soft spot for Mordaunt Short speakers, across the range they are generally overlooked and usually can be had for a lot less than their peers, The Signifers are a speaker i've nearly bought on a number of occasions but never heared.

I've been putting this little job off for ages but finally got on with it today. The Signifiers were originally fitted with spring connections for the speaker cable, I made up some adapters as I didn't want to remove the banana plugs from the cables but it was never really satisfactory.
I bought four gold plated copper binding posts to replace the spring terminals. Fortunately the aforementioned spring jobbies were simple enough to remove without having to cut the plastic mounting plate. The new binding posts fitted neatly into the recesses and don't look out of place. Not sure if there's any difference to the sound but one less connection must be better.

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!”
