The Marco-boy main system, as of August 2020

Treble output cuts off completely above just over 13kHz, not that you'd probably notice, most folk don't. I believe that's why the tweeter was called the HF1300. I've had four or five pairs over the years. Your Celestion badges are missing by the way, you'll find some on ebay if you're fussed Marco.

I was thinking of getting a pair of Ditton 15s, back in 1968. In the end though, I built a pair of Wharfedale-designed distributed port speakers using the Wharfedale RS8/DD driver.

(Admire the neat and tidy filing of the Hi-Fi mags.)

Indeed on all counts, Geoff. What should the original badges look like on these early models - could you link me to some?

Yup, I spoke to the chap earlier. He was aware of AoS and said, I quote "It's the more well-respected forum out of the three main ones, pfm and WW". Well, I wouldn't know that, but that's obviously his opinion and nice to know

He runs this small family business, which has some nice stuff: https://www.hifihangar.co.uk/

Check out their ebay shop shown on the link. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again, as their attention to detail is excellent

Some nice stuff for sale there.

I take it you have a copy of the 'Tannoy Story'?

That's Steve. I've met him, he's a decent bloke and well liked by his customers.

[Marco]

Yes you'll not be surprised that I bought a copy of that, too

Cool. He seems like a nice guy, Geoff. Did you see my question about the badges? Strangely, all the ones I've seen so far don't have badges on the grilles, such as this:

Or this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-X-CELES...D/193632513282

Are you sure that the very early ones had badges?

I've had a look around, but can't find a clear image. I wouldn't mind betting we have a member with some knocking about. I used to have some, but they're long gone as far as I can recall.
