Seller claims they sound as good as the day he got them back in 1993. 🤔

All original. No re capping. I wonder how you’d match the Driver specs these days??

Could be that nothing needs doing?

Well I shan’t be paying until I’ve heard them singing.

Congratulations Tim, they were pretty good speakers in their heyday. I'd suggest checking the current appearance of the drivers and any obvious distortion or odd noises then the overall sound to assess what needs doing.

It's worth looking up or measuring the driver specs before any swapping out so you can match up to the cabinet design.

hi folks

Just drunkenly bought some 90s speakers on eBay.

TDL Studio 1s transmission line jobbies. 

Be interested to swap out the speakers in both A & B systems. 

Heard good things about these little speakers. Need a lot of decent  amplification by all accounts. 

Annoyingly need to buy new speaker cables as the TDLs have the binding posts right at the top & the MAs gave them half way up! Frustratingly just 25cm too short!

Anyone use Van Damme speaker cables?

Heard good things. 

Will report back
