Go for it Keith!



Cheers Rob!

They are my firstborn - I auditioned them in a Nottingham hifi shop in
1982 next to some AR18s and Wharfedale wotnots. I loved them for quite a
while - superb upper bass/mid and a nice treble from the T27s. I found
deep bass fine - certainly better than the other smallish budget speakers
of the time. The make is/was LNB, and they were about 100UKP (I paid 40;
mean then as now). On bass - check they're wired properly from the xover
to the terminals. I lent them to a friend for about 5 years, and he
fiddled about with them and put some different terminals on. When I got
them back they sounded terrible - on closer investigation he'd wired them
up incorrectly. I may have buggered that up as well ;-)



For now I'll just lift the drivers to try them in the gash rig I intend
trying!

(Reversible, if need be, in the short term...!!)

Live the dream Keith :-)

You can bin them so far as I'm concerned. I thought you might be
interested in the xovers and the T27s. I thought the design was intriguing
(a compact transmission line) at the time, but in the real world they
can't hold a candle to Dynaudio 42s IMO. One last lease of life in '25th
Anniversary Edition' guise won't hurt :-)




It'll be interesting to try and get a decent get a squeak out of 'em - I'm
never one to let science stand in the way of a bit of 'trilanerra' but the
only way I could ever learn is by doing/sweeping up the mess/doing again &c.
&c....!!
