As a follow up, been in touch with Spendor and they want just shy of 100

Bloody hell. I sold a good pair of HF1300s for twenty quid last year.
If I'd known about that...

I'd have thought you'd have got much more - was it on Ebay?
Trouble with HF 1300s is there are many many varieties. And that's before
you do individual selection as the BBC used to for the LS5/1.

Not Ebay - somebody wanted some, and I just hazarded a number. They'd
been in a box on top of a wardrobe for thirty years.

I didn't know they selected them for the LS5/1. Certainly KEF had to
select the woofers just to get the resonance frequency within +/- 5Hz
of the right frequency.
