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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]
Editorial note: This thread started in 2011 and I checked it this morning (June 10 2019) and found it to be still relevant with a greater number of interesting observations than I expected. Certainly worth dipping in and out of. Neil / editorial =========== Click HERE for the numerous opinions
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 […]
Currently these are the only images I can find. Even now, to me it isn’t clear if this design was designed for PA work or domestic, or both.
