I've forgotten who it was, but someone on PFM had some SRM15's ? with thick slate "top hats" sitting on the tops which improved them further.

I don't know the T185 that Andr'e likes, but a PFMer bought some T165's (10" plastic cone but no ABR or second bass unit) and rated them very highly.

The 'T' range all used the same 10'' Dual Concentric, the T225: Mayfair & T185: Dorset were the ones with the ABR, T145: Ascot & the T165: Chester were the ones without

Try again, Andy... The Lockwoods are 113cm high, 72cm wide, and 45cm deep, weigh 65kg each - and have an internal volume of 320 Litres. Close, though!

OK, you win.

OK, is that a good different world or a bad different world? It's a serious question, as I'm considering a pair of all of the above,so obviously I'd like to get the best bang for my buck!

Ultimately I will be running the statics with direct coupled valve amps,so that is not really practical for an AV type system as the amps will consume a LOT of power, so will just be used for music. I currently have a pair of DIY MLTL's using Fostex Fe167e's with Fostex Fe17h supertweeters that I use for AV,but these are really tozwo good for this purpose,being very good at playing music but a little refined for AV.

Now,I've read on a few forums that a lot of folks like using these types of Tannoys for AV,so what would you advise? DC 2/3000's,or would I be better with 638's or 615's?

Dave? I'd value your opinion please. Ta!

Dunno if it's any cop but looks good for the cash.

The Tannoy 600 series were squitty little tight a*sed things as I remember and better suited to budget systems with the speakers against a wall with flower-pots or ornaments on to complement the odd shape. NOTHING like the 2000's or 3000's which, despite their ugly proportions or cheaper finish, have a fair amount of the magic of the "real" ones. Indeed, I believe Tannoy made some "proper" alternatives using developments of the HPD series drivers, but I don't think they sold much in the UK and I never saw them in the flesh. By this time you see, one bought an LP12 with NAD amp and some Wharfedale Diamonds to make up a properly balanced system

I've been watching them for a while, i'm suprised they are not fetching more but there's time i suppose.

I watched a pair last year and they rocketed from less than £100 to nearly a grand in the last two minutes. So the current low price is more than likely a prelude to the final fireworks.

I've just won myself an old Mission 'DAD7000R' CD player, this was the first CD player i bought in the mid 80's..There will be a hundred & one thing to do to it service wise but the most important is to modify it to Non Over Sampling..

This machine uses the Philips 'CDM1' Transport & 'TDA1540' dual dacs which are mono 'TDA1541'..Anyway it's near mint working, boxed with handbook & Remote £63.00..you'll do for me.
