OK, we all know about these…Thing is, I owned a pair for 32 years ( from new ) and sold them in 2008.Ever done something you ( almost ) instantly regret ? Well, this was a case in point.Then, almost ‘out of the blue’ a pair became available at a price a lot lower […]

Anyone tried them, are they any good, just fancied a change and thought these looked good. Dip in and out HERE
… or, more precisely, a quite naive but humble question it is that aims to know whether is a pair of these speakers are worth investing in? To note, I followed some threads with Tannoy speakers mentioned here at TAOS but now do not remember whether these exact models were recommended to be purchased or […]
I use Spendor S100s which are an earlier incarnation – I don’t think the differences were huge between the S100 and the SP100 – I don’t know what changes they made to make it the R version though. They are big, but a lot of that is depth, they don’t dominate. They will also go […]
Ok, so there I am minding my own business browsing the fresh listings on eBay as usual, then BANG! I’ve bought a radiogram for 130 of my finest UK pounds. That was five days ago, I’ve spent the time since then thinking ‘no, they can’t be can they… I mean it’s worth the asking price […]
Hi folks, quick love goes as quick as it came. This is maybe valid for the most spectacular speakers. First listening of my S6e gave me the impression: they will be sold. Meanwhile I honor it’s true involving midband. Bass is despite it’s dimensions full bodied and nearly perfect for my loft apartment. Bigger stands […]
Designed and manufactured in Great Britain from original designs, Spendor loudspeakers – which include the accessible A-Line and the enthusiast D-Line and Classic – deliver a transparent and musical sound that performs well above their price point. Indeed, so good are Spendor loudspeakers, the A4 floor-standers won a coveted five-star What Hi-Fi? Award earlier this […]
Ive heard kef ls 50 and will audition monitor 30.1. Ive just sold my amphion one18. they are truly the most accurate, detailed and fast speakers Ive heard. I may want a more smooth, slow and musical presentation. My interest is likely getting a high end REL g2 combined with the 30.1 or kef ls […]
had a listen to a pair of 802Ds that a scorist i’m studying under has. I was very very impressed with the sound coming out of what looks like a Dalek. I was told that 800Ds are even better, go deeper and do the same, but more. Discuss Observations HERE
As Tannoy continue to refine their Prestige Series loudspeakers they get ever more impressive. The new Kensington Gold Reference is a carefully balanced design suitable for medium-to-large rooms, where it will impress by dint of sheer impact. This is a loudspeaker you feel – as well as see. It is fabulously well engineered all round, […]
I have noticed the price of ‘3/5as rising on eBay. Early Rogers? I recall £1,300 recently. Spendors? About £500. Goodmans? About £800. Audiomasters ? About £1,200. RAM ? Over £1,000 . What IS the logic ? New Rogers LS3/5a £1,499. Are enthusiasts buying them ? Perhaps I shouldn’t ask, as I never found a sensible […]
David Lander writes: Before striding into the future, John Dibb enjoyed considerable exposure to his sceptered isle’s fascinating past. He was born in England’s North Country, in 1948, in a model West Yorkshire village established a century earlier by an enlightened industrialist determined to provide comfortable housing and communal amenities for his employees and their […]
I would like to update my trusty Quad ESL-63s, with which I use the REL Stadium III. Should I go for the replacement with the 2805, or the 2905s? My room is 4.20 x 6.60 metres, which I would think is just large enough for the 2905s. The back wall is triple glazed glass with […]
Hi all. It seems like Spendors and Harbeths share a lot of qualities, while the Spendors seem to be less expensive. Are any Spendor models comparable to C7ES3s? I really like what I’ve read about the Harbeths, but they aren’t available in my area while Spendors are. Any other similar speakers to consider? Please click […]
Editor’s note 14/02/19. I looked at this currently dormant thread this morning and am pleased to report that there is content in the thread which is useful and interesting for lovers of vintage KEF in particular. A visit is recommended. Neil / editor ==================== KEF used to make speakers near to where i was born […]
Editor’s note: One of my first introductions into proper music reproduction in the home was via these – driven by Armstrong 600 series amplification at some show or another. It was one of those increasingly rare occasions (although I didn’t know this at the time!) that the hair literally rose on my neck. Only […]
