Q: Dr. Bews. What speakers do you use during development? I use a pair of modified Celestion SL600 loudspeakers, rewired and the crossovers outside the box. These modifications helped immensely, to relieve the rather laid back, and slightly congested sound. Really I don’t think the absolute quality of the loudspeakers is that important when developing […]

Since I got back into hifi this time last year I’ve been having a good time piecing various systems together and in particular trying out all sorts of speakers. I’ve bought many sets now when they’ve cropped up ie Castle, Celestion, Ruark, Royd B@W, Naim and many others, some have been a great surprise and […]
Hi all, I have my Celestion 551’s back in the house, along with it 10 inch bass bins, and it has got me thinking. The speakers are 34 years old but all the cones seem to be in good working order. The crossovers have capacitors in them. They still sound good but the bass on […]
You’ve opened up a memory for me re. Celef. Was it started by Stuart Tyler? I advertised my Celef Monitors in the mid ’70s, I think it was, and was overwhelmed by people phoning as to not only enquire if they were still available, but why I was selling them. The number of calls was […]
John Atkinson writes: “Why does John Atkinson devote so much of his time to loudspeakers selling for under a [sic] $1000?” wrote a correspondent to The Audiophile Network bulletin board in August, there being a clear implication in this question that “more expensive” always equates with “better” when it […]
Not just speakers but … amps and turntables too
I’m changing this around a little. I’ve decided to leave out turntables because there are already a few good threads on them. I am also leaving out integrated amps because I don’t want to go down that road. If you want to post integrated amps, please create a new thread. If you disagree with any […]

Dave Smith writes: Much of this problem comes from all the so called ebay vintage HiFi ‘experts’ who are asking ridiculous amounts for things like the Celestion HF2000 tweeter. I purchased one last week for £30 outside of ebay yet when listed on ebay they’re asking stupid amounts for them. The HF2000 tweeter is […]
I managed to bag a pair for £103 delivered. I’m delighted and over joyed. They are a bit tatty but I think this could be my next restoration project now that the Garrrad 301 is very very nearly finished. MORE
I’m looking buy a pair of Ditton 66 speakers and would like to hear any comments comparing the Mk1 and Mk2 versions apart from the obvious front veneer. Are they the same or is the crossover different? Which is prefferred? Read more HERE
Editor’s note: This is an ‘old’ thread but I read it this morning and it does contains some useful (especially for the inexperienced) observations and so, worth dipping into I feel. Neil Thanks to City Link I have a pair of Dynaudio 52SE’s with one broken drive unit in each, so one dead tweeter […]
