I have recently been given a pair of RAM speakers - does anyone know
what the initials stand for as I have struggled to find any information
on the net. I know they are good speakers but want to find out more
info.

I am thinking of using them as part of my home recording studio - any
thoughts on this as before I picked them up I was heading off to a pair
of Yamaha monitors

The second area of help is the speakers themselves - there is no
obvious ID - I thought I was going to find a clear label saying Kef but
not so - there is a series of numbers which go on but the most obvious
ones are 0376 - If anyone could offer any guidance it would be much
appreciated.



Thanks for any help that I might receive Keith

RAM loudspeakers if I recall correctly were quite well respected,
unfortunately going out of business in the mid 80's.
They were one of the few companies to obtain the required licence to
produce the BBC LS3/5a speaker the x/over being produced to close
tolerance by Falcon Acoustics. To obtain this licence was not easily
achieved as we all know and depended upon an almost absolute consistency
between speaker units.
I cannot recall other loudspeakers in the RAM range if in fact there
were any, but working on the basis of a BBC approval I doubt that their
other products would be insignificant .

You may well have a pair of LS3/5a's - what are the dimensions of your
cabinets ?. Is the cover removable ?. Tygan or similar to todays baffle
covers.etc. etc.

Hope this is of some use to you, if not the whole answer to your
question - time fades ones memory.

Thanks John - I wonder if you would have corrected my top posting if you
knew that I was a Liverpool fan. :-))

Good deed returned - all the best for 2006/07 season, it was a good humoured
day. Better throw some audio in this posting - the sound system wasn't the
best, could hardly hear it over the West Ham supporters singing.

Speakers sound fine in my little studio. Can anyone tell me what are
deemed to be the top of the range / best speakers - I thought my little
RAM ones were good and I have a set of Rogers. They seem pretty good to
me.

By the way does anyone want a pair of Nad speakers - both bass speakers
blown - they are big - they are free if they can do anyone a turn. The
only thing is that they will have to be collected from North London -
The RAMs are now my replacement

Ps They look cosmetically fine

Thanks again for the help

External dimensions? Number and sizes of drive units?

The RAM CD20 was on sale in 1980. 42x25x23 cm with 19/150mm units. was
'recommended' in issue 21 of Hi Fi Choice. But I have no idea if this is
the speaker you have, nor how many others they may have made.
