Default Help Please

Thanks again - on the positive side they sound great and I am about to
try them in my little studio - but it looks like they are not the magic
LS3/5 - never mind - my main speakers in the house are magic so that
will do me

I will let you know how I got on

Thank you very much for both responses in particular John

The were made in Norwich - the label tells me this - not my knowledge.
The dimensions are Height approx 13" Width 9" and depth 7" - yes I
wondered if they were LS3/5. Unfortunatly the speaker covers have gone
missing - so I am thinking about making some up - my knowledge of
speakers is not that extensive.


What they look like is all very interesting. But come on, tell us
what they SOUND like? You're allowed to like or hate them whatever
the label :-)


From your dimensions, it looks like they are the Mini Bookshelf
'speaker. It is an acoustic suspension 'speaker with a 162.5mm bass cone
and 25mm tweeter. Impedance is 4-8 ohms and recommended amplifier power
15-35 watts. Price in 1979 was £ 101.49 pr.

The Ram logo was two "R"s back to back. I remember that Ram 'speakers
were quite nice, comparable in quality with the others of the time like
KEF, B&W, Monitor Audio etc, but nothing special or particularly different.
