Yup. At first it was just louder, so much louder. But, as I listen more, I realise it is just more of everything. Nice.

Not sure if these have already been posted - very nice pair of vintage Akai SW180 TOTL speakers.

These seem like a bit of a bargain to me, and open to offers as well:

I prefer the smaller DC1000. I've used both side by side and the extra driver in the DC2000 seems to affect the imaging.

Well they have been sold now.... £50 surely was a bit of a bargain for a pair of Tannoy's...

Hi Grant,
His Buy It Now was £990 the week before, and seems strange it's back on so quick as it only sold at £510 yesterday or the day before?

Yes, I am wary of this kind of (it appears) dubious practice. He wanted near a grand and when it only made 500+ he has relisted. No mention of a non payer and there was no reserve as it comes up in green so sold. I have seen this practice b4 of helping it along with bids etc, so last bid is one of yours/ gets cancelled etc. Cannot say this is whats happening but its suspicious enough for me to not bid. Lovely deck but tbh 500/600 is its value in great nick. imo. its not a 1k deck

Grant
