    Here you go. I'll be using these on mine when I can be bothered to uprate my Tannoys X-O.

    Great thread by the way. I love my 15" MG's. Always seem to surprise me in what they can do.

    Or, if they are sounding wonderful, just leave them alone. Not every tweak is necessarily an improvement.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Snap! Tom put me onto these earlier on. Have you decided yet on what internal wiring you will use Andrew? I see you will be using WBT silver binding posts. Nice - and expensive!

    This is very true Geoff - but where is the fun in that?

    The cabs need tidying up so may as well do things whilst the drivers are out.

    They look fine and fancy, but has anybody actually measured the resistance through them compared to the originals when plugged in? Or checked what material they are made from? Also, I would not be surprised if the contact area is reduced and what is the outer spring blade section made from, steel maybe?

    Yes Paul at RFC uses them, he's knows his onions.
