Well, the KPM auction was exciting. I must have chosen some good 'uns because others came along and outbid me on the ones I really wanted. Still, at least I pushed them to over £5 on each, over £7 on the Jazz funk one. He wants em, he gotta pay for them . . .
I got 6 all together, under £8 +postage

If I wasn't getting such a fantastic sound from my re-done BC2's (which sound very un-"Spendorish" these days), I'd love a pair of Devons for old time's sake - seriously........!Originally Posted by Marco
Hi Dave,
The Devons definitely sound as you describe, but they're fun with it!
My Lockwoods are a different ball-game altogether, though, and have a finesse, refinement and all-round musical abilities that is eons ahead of Devons or Kensingtons - it would be like comparing a Bentley to a Ford Focus!!

I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

Not sure if these are going to be a bargain or not but you don't see too many GALE 401s up for grabs these days.
Be interesting to see what they go for

Great if properly used and understood, but they'll be on their second or third re-foam by now.. Wembley Louspeakers can easily refurb the drivers though...

Alot have rubbers fitted now instead of the foam..I think but i'm not sure those tweeters may have been celestions! Some have replaced with more modern tweeters, i personally don't like replacing an original unit for a different, just doesnt seem right, x-over part change yeh but not units..
