    certainly worth it for the jordan watts drivers that often fetch £150 a pair. Wonder what that early Celestion tweeter is though. I've one of those crossovers floating around somewhere...
    Never seen a pair with HF1300 tweeters before, why is it used here? The HF1300 extends up to 13kHz and the Jordan Watts module extends up to 20kHz (allegedly). This model normally came with a Goodmans DT3 tweeter, as I recall. Earlier versions of the Juno had no tweeter.

    The Jordan Watts units were a good idea, but poorly executed. The rather enclosed chassis basket caused some obvious colourations right through the midrange.

    I believe that the usual tweeter was a normal dome tweeter. Not sure if that HF1300 was an afterthought by someone, as mentioned, it's the retail version, just the usual one, plastic pot on the back with screw connectors.

    Regardless of specification and Listening to the Jordan Watts module, treble seems to fall off quite a bit. To me the 1300 goes up much higher.

    How old are you Alex? If you're over forty, I doubt you can hear much higher than the HF1300 goes. The HF1300 is virtually flat to 13kHz, then cuts off dead, there is absolutely no output at all above that point.

    Whereas, the Jordan Watts Module has a falling HF output curve but extends up to around 20kHz, which is why the Goodmans DT3 soft dome was normally used on later models, as it extended up to 22kHz fairly flatly.

    I believe I may have response graphs for all these drive units knocking about somewhere.

    Now up to over £1600 with more than eight days to go. It'll be 'Sky High'!

    That's the value of the drive units more or less covered, anything further will be because of the cabinets they're in.

    I thought I was onto a winner when I spotted this album tucked away in the wholesale & job lots section. There were still no bids on it when I checked again last thing last night, but it seems it's no longer the screaming bargain I was hoping for!

    It's a bargain, yes, I agree, but like I said, I was hoping for a screaming bargain!
    I'd have had it for a bit less, but I don't really need a 3rd copy!
