All harmless fun, there's far worse things I could spend my money on, like wine, oh, um, well drugs then!

Don't feel bad about it Alex, speakers apart, I have enough bits and pieces to put together four vinyl + tuner + tape systems.

No, that's a trader, he's been listing them for a while I think, a pair of blacks were recently listed for a lot more than that, not sure if they sold though.

People regularly list golds for £1-2k depending on size and a pair of 10" reds in homemade cabs recently went for around £1.5k

I've confessed to the missus that I bought the little Jamos (speakers are the hardest things to smuggle in, I think!

- not that she minds really, but she does have a point on just how many hifi bits we need in the house - she once referred to our house as Currys when showing a friend round for the first time

) - I'm still evaluating the film caps in the Caiman so I'll give them a proper try over the weekend but a quick listen suggests that they seem very good indeed, especially for £15! Bass was surprisingly good for the size and great imaging, with no harshness I could detect.

If you mean the caps Alex, the size has nowt to do with bass response.

Okay

Shows how little I know about vintage Tannoy speakers and their drive units......i.e next to nothing.

There was another item listed recently for thousands which was a mistake, so logically I thought that this listing was as well.

£6500 for a pair of drive units

even a few thousand seems like an awful lot to me.....oh well.

Sorry Ali, maybe I confused matters - I meant the Jamo E530 speakers I got from ebay had good bass for their (small) size.

When you consider those Tannoy Pro monitors with 15" DC and 15" bass units wre only £3.5K the pair, then these drivers are severely over priced.
