That's better, Steve. Even with the poor picture quality, you can now get a more approximate idea of the difference in size.
I agree... Vinnie, you've done a great job on the cabs, given where they came from and your, errm, 'slight' lack of tools
Btw, it's time to get back behind the door... Come on now, chop, chop!

Hi Marco
Have some interesting tannoys, including 15" reds in repro autograph cabs. You're very welcome to get in touch if you fancy hooking up sometime and talking (and listening) tannoys. I live in snowdonia, so not too far away from you.

The system in my workshop is a Tandberg 2075 feeding the autos, a denon 2900 feeding it if not the radio.Originally Posted by Marco

Marco.
In the house a modded lenco in a slate plinth, 12" sme, van den hul frog, border patrol modded audio innovations p2 phonostage straight into a modded leak st20. Speakers are 12" golds in large homebuilt plaster reinforced cabs with silver crossovers.
Before you ask the autos won't fit in the house!
Also have 15"HPD's, 15" golds and uncabinetted 12" silvers, the rare blue ones...I use the crossovers from them in the house system.

I managed to sell mine just in time, but my base plate was sagging too. I have never forgiven Roksan for that design horror or their total lack of support for the deck.
