    I reckon they date from the period when Leak were marketing rebadged Rotel electronics. But they may even just about date back to your 2000 series gear Grant.

    Scruffy Tannoy HPD295A Eatons in Nottinghamshire. Drive units could be good. Will they be a bargain?

    At that point, Leak were part of Rank and they had no strategy when it came to matching their range, speakers had been handed, more or less to Wharfedale and electronics, as has been mentioned were often rebadged Rotel or developed by them. As I recall there was little in the way of cross pollination, from teams whose resented being part of Rank and resented having to prop up the hollowed out Leak company. A bad time for three proud british HiFi brands, Rank really were rank. This is my personal opinion, says the man who is aware of libel law.

    Thanks all. I thought they looked out of sorts for early 70s. Yes the rank link was not great I believe. Was just interested. Paul seems to have the info spot on from what I can see.
    I've got some parts in order so when put together and assuming they don't explode I will run them first with a set of full range. The celestions I think.

    Great Price!
    That said; the 10's were unfortunately the 'bungled' DC's.
    Much less than expected bass and the incredible (what were they thinking?)
    Mismatch of Lf Voice coil with the Pepperpot horn.. significantly Messed the Crossover transition.
    So iffy bass and odd midrange effects ?
    Not ideal and it certainly let the Side down
