Hi Martin,
The Lockwoods look great now - I must get mine done! How are they sounding compared to before, after the recent mods?
I love your room, too - it has nice, cosy, homely feel to it, so I can imagine you have great times there listening to some fine tunes!

Hi martin kbh - so our mutual friend convinced me to take a set of Lockwood Major boxes for my Tannoy Monitor Golds - can't wait to get them this weekend and hook them up to the EAR 549s - Great to see your set up - that EAR 912 - that is state of the art - nice work on your finished cabs

EAR 549
For those who may be interested in the EAR 549 there is a pair up for sale here on ebay...a bit optimistic on the price if you ask me.

Ummm - I thought big ATC's were for hooligans
My recent visit to hifi dave showed me how large the TD124 is in actuality (I'd forgotten) and yours is totally dwarfed by the Lockwood Majors
Sentimentality dictates that I stay with the BBC legacy for now, but of all the alternatives, good vintage Tannoy is never far behind, although the best Tannoys seem to be the huge ones
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?

Oooo - errr
I've just shown the Lockwoods to wifey and she tells me she prefers the look to the Spendors, saying she'd rather have speakers looking more like that but obviously smaller.
I'm thinking well-sorted Cheviots perhaps, although Berkeleys up against the wall (ooh missus) might be a possibility
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,

Thanks Ruben..long time no hear no see. I'm sure that you will love and keep the Lockwood cabs...this very simple boxdesign somehow makes the TMG sing.Originally Posted by r-l-b
That 912 is my pride and joy...love it to bits.
