Evoke 50 with amplifier seems more warm sound but Focus 50 beats are more crispy and "cutting"

Happy new year.. I am encountering Celestion for the first time. Have invested in some cheap DL6's. Found issues with both crossovers - one fixed by resoldering joint. But question - how can I tell if the crossovers are actually factory. They dont look it - attached by glue to back of speaker post plate and more components than others.. Are you prepared to advise if I could send you a picture of one for review? Or could you point me to someone who would be able to help??

I am actually listening to this on my desktop system with SA1s. I have tried about 10 different speakers and ended with these. None of the others bring out the emotion in the music. When you hear it, you know!

Spendor 2/3 has a different drive on the bass. First of all, I really wouldn't play it through the phone! When replacing the tweeter, didn't you also need to make corrections to the crossover? The impedance and crossover frequency are right. That sound is not Spendor 2/3

The Harbeth sounds exceptionally crisp and clear in what most people like their Hi Fi to sound like. But being a musician what l hear from the Spendors is very natural and unforced in the timbre of any instrument in that music and l like that.

I had a pair of DL4 Mk 2 and they sounded great. Unfortunately someone had stored them somewhere damp and as such the fibreboard/MDF has a smell of mould and I had to part with them. I guess people store these in lofts, sheds, garages etc when they don't use them anymore then sell them on years later. But they did sound great, would like another pair for sure.

Hi thank you very much for your alway great comparisons one issue often overlooked in small speakers is their mass i.e. weight Increasing mass moves the box resonances down in frequency and possibly below the speaker working range The sa1 at 5.5 kg are just too light Look at how heavy are the very best minimonitors around Even 20kg/each a light cabinet will resonate just in the delicate midrange blurring the sound I do no what to sound extreme but take the drivers and xover of the sa1 and place them in the 5 kUSD/each Magico A1 cabinet and the sound will be quite similar Maybe i little lighter on bass but possibly even better in the midrange The cabinet is so important and people dont realize that I made some experiments and i was shocked by the differences I mean same drivers xover and different cabinet Like night and day There is a good test to check for box resonances Let the system warm up At a certain point in absence of resonances the speakers should seem like disconnected from the system and the sound completed detached from the boxes I love Spendor speakers a lot Like all best british speakers by the way

My dad has the SL600. I grew up listening to it and I have a 805s and 802D3. The celestions to me has a dark sound. It needs a lot of clean power and a sub to bring out the sound. Probably a 200w amp or lower wattage but good quality amp like Ayre integrated. Never felt 800 series to be bright. I think they have a ton more resolution, soundstage, depth and timbral quality. Both are rather neutral in tone. The solid aluminium body and original stands are the standouts for the celestions. I think John Atkinson uses the stand for his reviews.

I am a self employed gardener. One of my customers was having a clear out and asked if I wanted to take a Bang and Olufsen Beomaster 2000 vintage hi fi separates system. I remember back in the day they were something I could never afford. I didn't have room for it so I decided to put it on eBay hoping I might get a few quid for them. I was very surprised when a bidding war immediately started and I got £300 for the lot. No one even asked if the stuff worked and I think I could have got more if I'd left it in longer or promoted the listing. Pleasantly surprised.
