Terry Allan's personal speaker collection

Pictures exclude three sets of Sony speakers, various other unmentionables, and others so far not photographed (an ever increasing collection).

I use Naim electronics (CDS2, XPS, NAC82, Supercap, Nap250) to power a pair of KEFKIT3 (modified). A Yahama surround sound processor aided by a Naim Nait 3 powers rear speakers (Linn Kan). I have a Rega Planar 3 for vinyl.

James Tobin supplied photographs of his Faraday Sirens which use B200G SP1075 and T33A tweeters

Note from James:

The Faraday Siren speakers have been reviewed in 'what hifi' magazine, and new models are sold online at http://www.faradaysound.co.uk

The model I have is a prototype that was sent to What hifi for review.

Jan Surewaard supplied photographs of his KEF Calinda's, Coffin subwoofer during assembly, and Cresta speaker with DN13 crossover.

Note from Jan:

I use a Harman Kardon receiver, AVR 4000 (5 X 50W) and my sub is connected to an old amplifier Marantz 140 (2 X70W).

The Kef Calinda speakers are used as the main speakers in a 5.1 system. I built a center speaker using 2 B110B speakers and an Audax tweeter. The rear speakers are Kef B110A with a T27 and as a sub I am using 2 B139 speakers in a TL system based on the coffin http://www.t-linespeakers.org/classics/coffin/. 

Gerard Slikker supplied photographs of his Rogers Monitors

 Use B139s and possibly B110s

Mark Bridge supplied photographs of his KEF Model 103.2s (11/01/2004)

Note from Mark: I managed to pick up this pair of 103.2s for just £50 around 5 years ago

Peter Buis is building a sub-woofer using a coffin style design. Watch progress on Peter's photo gallery.

Note from Peter:

I used an old Cambridge Audio PX140 amplifier and my iPod for testing.
The complete system will consist of the Coffin Subwoofer, (with Kef B139 - SP6171) powered by a Quad 606, the sattelites, of which the bass / midrange units (Kef B200 - SP1075) will be powered by a Quad 405, and the tweeters (Kef T33 - SP1074) will be powered by a Quad 303. Active filtering will probably be done by two threeway BMM DIY kits for tri -amping.

Mark Noble has supplied a photograph of his IMF TLS80s

He also includes a description of perceived differences between the IMF TLS80s and Naim SBLs which he also owns.

Colin Royle Sunday 13/06/2004 has indicated that he has seen at least two versions of the "side to side" dual B139 and B200 transmission lines - one with a Decca London Ribbon and Decca Super Tweeter for the highs the other used five of the Shackman electrostatic panels like the B&W DM70. He thinks that the orginal TL design came from Speaker Builder.
