Any of you Tannoy fans fancy some memorabilia?

wow ..., thanks for posting adam
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

Well the reception desk would look just right in the AOS lobby.
I wouldn't mind the bench press.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I suspect some folks here might be interested in the Lockwood Major cabs, which look in good nick and (currently) are silly cheap at £200!I've seen pretty shabby looking ones on ebay go for a grand! Perfect for putting a nice pair of 15" Monitor Reds or Golds in, and hearing what they can *really* do
Another bargain is the Mistral CDP, as I know how good those are, plus the 'Tannoy' amps could be interesting for using with some HPDs. No idea what the VDH amps would be like, but suspect they'd be decent, given their use at the factory in what one would presume to be critical applications.
