I can't quite remember if it's a presence control or it adjusts the tweeter volumeOriginally Posted by lonergan2468
I have a pair myself, wouldn't get rid of them as even though they aren't built anywhere near as well as they could be, they sound very good indeed
Give them a bit of wall reinforcement & you should be able to reproduce sub 30Hz signals with little problems, I know as mine are in a 16ft long shed

Thanks chaps.
Yes, these old MS speakers are good. Lovely big sound and bass. The cabs are in a little state, maybe walpurgis can help me out on that some day. The drive units are looking good and working fine.

Hmm, not quite the dog's danglies, but very enjoyable and far better than many people give them credit for nonetheless! They certainly respond very well to some re-wiring and new crossover componentry.Adam Smith (from HFW) owns a pair, and reckons that they're the dogs danglies... I think they look quite cool, but will stick with my, rather awesome, Celestion 66s!

I shall be watching these closely, mainly to see what they go for as mine will be up for sale soon once I've finished tidying them up. They are fantastic and I love them but I now have a pair of the later isodynamic-tweetered and even rarer Leak 3090s awaiting restoration and too many other large loudspeakers, so the 2075s have to go!

Yes what a bargain for someone. I guess 'collection only' kept the price down.

An economical but concise description plus a few well shot photos can really move an item on, however there's economical and then there's this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/f-/2211164...#ht_500wt_1156
You might want to take a look at this sellers other items which aren't a lot better...
