    Nearly bought a pair of DM3 back in 1972, as they were the best B&W design after the DM70 with the electrostatic tweeter. But then a pair of Quad ESLs came along, and the rest as they say was history.

    Yours look to be in great condition; but if you are intending on keeping the grills, I would paint the baffle black so as to disguise the outline of the drive units.

    They look pretty minty. They're probably as old as me, and I don't.

    They wouldn't look like that if they'd had to leave the house every day for forty years in all weathers. Looks like they've had a cushty life.

    I want them. Would go well with my HK930 receiver.
