A mint pair of Celestion Ditton 33 speakers came across my path this week. These are very polite English 3 way speakers in beautiful Oak veneer.

Tannoy Oxford Gold Open Baffles for sale
I need to make room for more speaker creations and I am in the process of letting go of these speakers to make room for new ones.
These Tannoy Oxford Gold speakers are wonderful sounding and I think they sounded better out of the wooden cabinets than in.
I am asking $300.00 for the pair, the caps have been upgraded only and the veneer is a really nice Rosewood.
Once you have listened to an open baffle speaker it is hard to go back to a boxed speaker, if you are a true audio lover.
Email me bankofdave at gmail if interested.
Shipping will be at the purchasers expense.

Admiral Turbo Reflex Speakers
Here is something that flies under the radar for almost everyone but there is a dedicated following for this speakers, super ugly and cheaply made cabinets. It is what was inside and the design that counts.
These speakers use Coral 12RG06 full range 5.25 inch woofers and a tweeter crossed over with a 1uf capacitor. The boxes are a back horn loaded design with the chamber that goes back and forth across the internals three times producing outstanding bass. The sound from a tube amp defies how cheap and ugly these speakers seem to appear.
In that respect I have salvaged the drivers and kept one box to rebuild this design in decent boxes, I have enough Foster 4 inch drivers also to make a few pairs of folded horn loaded speakers.

Six months and plenty of change
This corner of the blogsphere has been silent as what was a great man space that often looked like this........
and had many great speakers, amps, beers and scotches of the years came to an end. Almost all the gear was sold off and what was left went into storage as a major shift in my life occurred.
Slowly this blog is re emerging with emphasis on building speakers, open baffles and back horn loaded using full range newer and vintage high efficiency speakers suitable to working best with tube amps,
I have moved from Vancouver to Victoria and have been scouting the area for decent gear but mostly come across the same stuff as before but at highly inflated second hand market prices, so I pass on a lot of it.
I have come across some gems though, stay tuned.
