I've got a thing about acoustic lines and speakers :-)

A friend had a problem with WAF, and I've ended up with his old B&W
DM2's as after 35 years of his enjoyment his wife has made him buy
something a little more compact ;-(

So I've got 3yr old TDL Studio 1 transmission lines in this room, and
have rigged up the DM2's in a similar but opposite location. Mission
Cyrus straight line amp driving...

Well, it's 32 years between them ... and the result?

Wow. Say, apart from size of the box, did any speaker developments
actually happen in the last 30 years?

These are the same.

The vintage B&W's have got loads better stereo imagery, acoustic guitar
and piano are there AND pretty much the same boomless bass of the TDL's.
It's just, well, they are huge!! (and they could probably do with
exciting waves in a larger room). Damm, this is tough - I'm listening to
them at the moment playing a DALI demonstrator CD. I so wish I could fit
them in this room...

I'm probably going to be selling them for him, and am looking for an
enthusiast that would cherish the performance they can make, rather than
someone looking for random speakers for background 'wallpaper' music. I
think these are the sort of speakers you buy once and don't really think
about changing. Kind of the way I felt about my TDLs.

For that reason I don't think eBay is the right place, or is it?
Suggestions? I'm in London BTW.
