    Some seriously nice kit and a very nice room you have there. I bet it all sounds great.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    Analog Inputs: Pro-Ject Signature 10 TT & arm, Benz Micro LP-S, Michel Cusis MC, Goldring 2500 and Ortofon Rondo Blue cartridges, Hitachi FT5500 mk2 Tuner

    Digital:- Marantz SA-KI Pearl CD player, RaspberryPi/HifiBerry Digi+ Pro, Buffalo NAS Drive

    Amplification:- AudioValve Sunilda phono stage, Krell KSP-7B pre-amp, Krell KSA-80 power amp

    Output: Wilson Benesch Vector speakers, KLH Ultimate One Headphones

    Cables: Tellurium Q Ultra Black II RCA & Chord Epic 2 RCA, various speaker leads, & links


    I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.

    Lounge system taking shape nicely now after the long search for some large Tannoys ......3 years to be precise !!!
    I’m now chuffed to bits to say I’m the owner of these ex-Sawmill Studios Lockwood Majors
    The cabs are in fantastic condition for there age , one small tear in the cloth but not bad considering there 40+ years old ,crossovers are all original and seem to be working fine and the 15” HPDs that there loaded with are just back from Lockwood with some new cones fitted and a clean bill of health
    Sorry the pics are a bit on the dark side but you’ll get the gist

    Rushing to get them in before the mrs sees them 😂


    Back from Lockwood with a Fresh Recone






    Don’t think my flea power amps going to cut it with these


    Current position in the lounge and sounding good with some GM70 power

    Awesome, mate! I just love how they DWARF your existing [already very large] speakers!

    So... Did I, or what you heard that time at Scalford with the AoS system, influence your decision to get some Lockies?

    Cheers Marco and yes she noticed alright ��
    Yes ,the AOS room was the first time I’d heard big tannoys sounding the way I like to hear my music
    A lot of effort must have went into getting that system “on song “ and it showed on the day

    Just need to search for a suitable power amp to drive them now !!!

    Cool beans, lol... As for a power amp. why not go for the same one as mine [system listed below] - that's what you would've heard at Scalford!
