Bargains on ebay? (Part 2)

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

The 10" IIILZ Golds were not great, but the 10" HPD295A is a very good unit. It is certainly not short of bass, even the small Eaton packs a useful, if not hugely extended punch. I've owned several pairs of each. I agree that the IIILZ is rather limited. But in a larger cabinet, the HPD295A can perform excellently. It is after all, basically a late series 12" Monitor Gold with a reduced chassis and the mid and top are as good as any.

Would you buy these Rogers LS6 speakers? They look a right pair of bastards.

Spot on there, how can he call them Rogers LS 6?

[Virtual-Symmetry]

Don't understand people who swap out units for ones that are miles away from the original design. ffk those Rogers has clear polypropylene Bass/Mid unit..

[walpurgis]

Yeah, I bet those 'replacements' must have cost at least £7 each!

When I see RAM mentioned, I always think of Tangent speakers as well.

There was a lot of small BRIT SPEAKERS companies from back then that just disappeared.

I used to have a big pair of Swallow acoustics 5 way jobbies that used Dalesford bextrene unit which were great till I came in from work one day to find the daughter had shoved a Biro thru each drive unit.

Yup, Griffin and Audiomaster spring to mind too. Didn't Griffin use Coles tweeters. I'm sure they did. About the only firm I can think of that used the HF1300 'clone'.

[Virtual-Symmetry]

The Griffin did use Coles units in very unusual designs. Superb speaker Tho..
