A pair have just gone up on ebay in a considerably better condition than the ones I'm rescuing. I'll be interested to see what they go for. Any guesses? |

I've been offered a pair of these recently and thought I'd ask peoples opinion of them. I have not had the opportunity to listen to them but I note from here they are at their best in bigger spaces. I ... |

Heh. It's subtle Colin but I detect a hint of disappointment there. Okay, I'll stick with the T27 but I'll have to get them repaired which is why I was fishing for options. Will KEF still perform this ... |

What can I say… truly you are a man of great wisdom, your diagnosis was spot on (ever thought of becoming a doctor? Maybe you are one). Now at the risk of testing your patience if I thought that this ... |

Learning is a great thing. eh? I see there are T27's on ebay at about the cost I'd expect so I'm on the way to getting these guys back on track. You were spot on about the resistor by the way.
