Just got these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT on eBAY, I paid £40 for them, so i may have paid a bit too much but they will match my MS45Ti's perfectly. A question though, my speakers have threaded bolt holes in the bottoms, so did or do mordaunt short stick to a pattern i.e. will the holes in the stands match my speakers, and secondly if they do is bolting them on a better idea than using gel pads.

The missions i use at the mo have the ability to be fixed to the matching stands, i don't use that facility.I think the Gel pads would be a good idea.

Just won these Bolivar speakers http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...EOIBSA:GB:1123 and hope to pick them up tomorrow. From what I can find on the web they were made by an offshoot of JBL\Harmen in the late 70's. I expect that at the very least the woofers will need new foam surrounds but was wondering if anyone ever had experienced them and if they are worth restoring?

If they're working, you'll LOVE them. they can sound incredibly good - very efficient, not severely coloured and such FUN

Not sure of the bass units were foamed, but if they are and need doing, I'd get 'em to Wembley Loudspeakers for a re-furb. Crossover caps too if necessary.

You can keep your bloomin' Ditton 15's, THESE were where fun was at in the late seventies - of yes indeedy

According to the second link they have paper cone tweeters. Not good IME

For fear of sarcy comments from Marco, I have some old HiFi Choices with reviews in..............

Don't worry about cone tweeters, there's a dome in the middle () and they can be pretty well behaved if done right (as a full crossover re-imagining did on some L100's I read about)
