I know someone who is looking to sell a minty (with boxes etc) pair of Spendor S6E speakers. Heard them yesterday actually and was most impressed. I'm sure the Raddies will drive them with aplomb. Beautiful looking speakers. PM if interested.

Don't know yet as I pick the amp up on Sunday.
However the Khorns are in the house and most of my listening is in a cabin.The Khorns are too big for the cabin.
Want to use the Radford in the cabin mainly.
I have Bastani o/b in there being driven by a Transcendent mini beast and a Behringer iNuke 3000.

I'll probably get shot down here but I've been through a lot of vintage speakers (but not Tannoys, although I've heard several pairs) and the only ones I've really liked were B&W DM2as, Cambridge Audio R50s and IMF TLS80s. All are transmission lines of some sort with Coles supertweeters. I've struggled with old tweeters covering the full HF range. Only problem is they take a bit of driving, but I'd certainly recommend trying the Radford with one of them if you get the opportunity. The DM2s are common and more easily transported. Get a pair for c£100 and you can always pass them on if not happy.
