    It's not that long since I used to get these at boot sales for about £3 a pair. They're not exactly brilliant anyway.

    I've actually got the magnet of a Whiteley Stentorian HF1016 speaker for that purpose. Ever heard of one? Many on AOS will have.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Look nice but how do those EMI's compare with the LF drivers made by B&W in other models from the DM series ?

    There's not much wrong with the EMI drivers. I used them a number of times in various projects. B&W added damping pads to the 10x6 driver in the DM1 in order to address a minor beak up mode. They didn't do the same to the 13x9 unit used inthe DM3.

    I thought you'd know

    Would like to try some some DM3's in nice condition [which seems rare!]

    I have a pair of DM1's in rosewood, and despite the cluttering in my house I'm tempted to get these aswell, they're a real bargain, these speakers are very nice indeed and I'll never part with mine! Can't understand how they're always flying under the radar, them being the 1st monitor model from B&W, this from a collector's pov.
