    Yeah, its one of them things, when you really want to do somat, you'll manage it. I remember reading somewhere about a guy that cajoled his mates into helping get his new speakers up 7 flights of stairs, apparently they were none to happy when they got there to find the speakers were a pair of Living Voice Air Partners.

    That pair of 10 dual concentrics in the car ended up being backed up by a pair of Trio 15" 1000 watt subs in a custom built bandpass enclosure in the boot, driven by a 2 x 300 watt pro plus amp that was low passed at 60hz, just for a giggle like.

    Split charge system and a huge Amtech alternator had to be the order of the day also as that lot could suck a car battery dry in four & half minutes.

    But I digress, thanks for the pics of the spendors, they look as good as I remember, I feel a second system coming on.

    Some of us poor loners had to shift Isobariks up the stairs on their own I did have help shifting the ATC 100A's though...

    The previous Spendor S100's used to sell used for well under a grand and if they still do they'd be a bargain now the inferior but collectable BC3's go for so much (£800+).. SP100's would probably be around £2K I reckon. Don't forget the Harbeth Monitor 40's which are starting to show from time to time for similar money - all these "BBC Inspired" models have similar characteristics - big, warm and "comfy" in the very best sense of the word IMO.

    Thanks for that Dave, didn't realise they were still fetching those prices, might look for a tatty pair to refurb.
