Reiver Acoustics Millburn MK ii

[Ali Tait]

I commissioned Colin to build these for me last year to use whilst I was renting a small flat near the site I was working at that didn't have room for my OB's. Shortly afterwards I moved on to another project so these had very little use and were put into storage- I would doubt the drivers are properly run in yet.

The cabinets are made with 18mm Baltic Birch Ply, I chose Crown Cut American Walnut for the veneer which I think looks rather spiffy.

The driver is a 10" coaxial unit from Monacor- the SP-310CX. The bass/mid cone is rated at 96db and the 1" tweeter at 105db, so these are very easy to drive and with high power handling. the crossovers use high quality components- Jantzen 1% tolerance Superes resistors, Jantzen Z-Caps together with Jantzen Iron core (with discs) and Air core inductors.These retailed on the Reiver website at £1250, I'm looking for £700, which I think is a very good price given these are virtually new.

I would be keeping them if I had a use for them as they are great sounding speakers, but now I'm living with my partner I need to get rid of some gear. I'll be advertising some other items in the near future.

Demo is no problem - I'm located in Leeds. I'll deliver within 50 miles free, further within reason for cost of fuel.

the crossovers use high quality components such as Mills resistors and ClarityCaps.

Just to clarify a small misprint by Ali. The XO'ers indeed use high quality components but NOT Mills resistors and Clarity Caps which are good in there own right. I installed Jantzen 1% tolerance Superes resistors, Jantzen Z-Caps together with Jantzen Iron core (with discs) and Air core inductors.

I believe these coaxial drivers are a match (and in some ways excel) for the performance of any the Tannoy dual concentric drivers. You only have to ask Stratmangler what he thinks of these speakers.

Again another set of lovely speakers.. If Ali rates them they will be good

[Ali Tait]

Thanks Colin, my faulty memory. I'll update the ad.

I bet they image very well. I had Avantgarde Solos that were co-ax and the imagery was wonderful.
Poor man's Tannoys? No; just a canny man's!

So....have you located south? A lot of us are thinking Scotland looks good....Boris!

[Ali Tait]

LOL yes I am back in Leeds again Chris. Yes they do indeed image very well, as Colin said, he rates them as good or better than Tannoys.

Took that from Ali's sale thread on Pink Fish

Thanks Mike, just seen this. 10mm less though lol.

Cabinet dimensions are H-986, W- 323, D- 227mm. Feet add around 10mm to height.
