The BBC LSU10, a vast reflex device with a Sound Sales (or Leak) valve amp
in the side, used a 15" Parmeko dual concentric driver. Later, a TSL
tweeter was added to the grille - as when FM radio started, listeners with
decent speakers were hearing things the 'studio' wasn't.

To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Thanks a lot for the info guys. I'd found the reference to the BBC speakers but precious little else. Even Parmeko themselves (who are still in business in the same premises but only making components couldn't help me).

They are a fantastic looking pair of speakers, but I've found the sound a little disappointing (rather woolly) compared to my MA4s and Audiomasters. I'll upload some photos as soon as possible.

Thanks again for the replies, and if you find a review, do please let me know!
