Great thanks

Does anybody maybe know what ever happened to Louis de Jager / Ludo He use to repair electronics for forum members as well as sell speaker parts. His cell nr and email is not working anymore. Was just wondering if someone might have any info. Or if he is even still around.

So just a heads up these will be going on the for sale section for those who. asked.

Bit of an update. New grills fitted. Old. grills. were not good anymore. Near mint now again. Same kind of sound signature than my kef ls3/5a's. Just bigger more. efficient and more dynamic

Ah very interesting appreciate it. They really do sound like studio monitors on steroids haha. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Julian, no they are sealed cabs that has quite a lot of acoustically stuffing inside.

So just thought I would share these for all vintage lovers on the forum. Found a pair of Emi 300 vintage speakers. I cannot find much info on the web about these.. here and there.. They are extremely heavy, almost broke my back just to try and get them in the house. Interesting design...

I am also looking for fuse lamps. 6volts for a vintage sansui 210ss amplifier. Been to all the electronics shops so far in pretoria an no luck. Can only find 12volt ones... Even went through some old amps with fuse lamps but none were working. So if anyone can find me some that will be great...

Wow Sarel, interesting finds. Thanks for sharing. Well if you are able to fix that lovely massive marantz it will be worth quite a bit of money. The pictures does not really show how big and heavy that amp is, it is a monster of a thing. So keep going def worth it.

Yes Richard Allan drivers are still popular. I had a pair I sold some time ago. They don't sell for to much but they do sell and they are great speakers.

I have a pair of proper horn drivers that was used on a war tank to play prob announcements or even certain alarm sounds not sure. They have a very long throw to them. The mids on those horns are so smooth and open one can almost use them for hifi. They look like something out of World war 2...

The Ar4x speakers are lovely sounding speakers when restored. Most of the 4x models used a material type of surround and not foam. So if that is the case the woofers should still be fine. However most of the ar4x tweeters I have seen in the past sometimes the coil wires corrodes away , you...

Yes Philips MFB speakers , have owned a few pairs and still have 2 pairs of MFB's in my home. Great speakers , very good bass response and accurate. I know as well one of pink floyds albums was mixed and recorded using a pair of Philips MFB's You will still find them around , I think there is...

No definitely not. I see many users that have these speakers play them without the foam. The foam is just about the look of the speakers. But yes compared to the ls3/5a's I had I must say these come the closest to them in sound which I have heard. Uses the same kef T27 tweeters and kef B110's...

I was at sondor foams today. They can get me some open cell foam that should work. Takes 5 days to order and costs almost R1k for a sheet. So I think I will just leave it for now cause I will sell the speakers anyway. But yes sonor foams has some very nice foams available.

No I have not, thanks let me try and see if I can find what you suggest.

Sorry mods maybe this post must be moved to DIY wanted . You are welcome to move it if needed be.

I have been looking around everywhere for some foam I can use to cover up my Jim Rogers 149 speakers as they originally were. These sound almost in many ways just like the Rogers Ls3/5a's and I would like to get them 100% like they were so all I still need is the foam grills. So the foam...

Haha. That was just to quickly test. But yes it weighs a ton. No worries the marantz was not hurt or abused in any way lol

I am mostly used to vintage hifi amps. Like the marantz in the pic and then a quad 303  sugden a21, and so forth. The qsc sounds good. Much more controlled in the bass,mid bass section. Probably because it is 240watt per channel. Very solid and clean sound. Very neutral sound. But I am...
