    The crossover had a constant impedence of 8 ohms. Not sure if Kef tried the idea around the same time. There's a posting by the son of YHF speakers on PFM. He gives a few details.

    Adrian Orlowski of Hi Fi Answers was quite a fan of them.

    I think Kef's implementation was known as the Kube. I could just be talking bollocks here though. Anyway, the idea was for the amp to see a constant (more or less) load.

    Thanks for that... Must admit I've not heard of YHF before but they look well made.

    These Tannoy DC200s are cheap and may look interesting, but don't be tempted. They are the worst Tannoy dual concentrics I've heard, wooly, coloured and two dimensional. Avoid!

    This is great CD spinner - I know, I have one myself

    It's sound is not unlike the earlier Wadia and Krell players, with s-p-a-c-e between the sounds so everything is separated out into it's individual component parts. Great to listen to for hours.

    It's in better nick than mine AND it has a remote control, which is very rare.

    Tannoy T115 Speakers. Perhaps a tad pricey??

    "a tad pricey" is an understatement. I gave away a pair of the better and bigger T225s a while ago, I'd bought them at a boot sale for £18 and passed them on to a friend. They sounded OK but nothing special. Nowadays I'd say a fair price for a mint pair of T115s is £50. You can get a pair of far nicer DC1000s for less money .
