Beautifully built, lovely sounding B&W speakers from the 90s, with refurbished tweeters. Magazine gave them 5 stars, and there is a very positive Gramophone review that can be viewed online. At this age, the majority of B&W speakers using this tweeter seem to suffer from dried up ferrofluid which restricts the movement of the voice and leads to a dull sound.
That was the case here, and these sounded dull and pinched. These have had all the old iron filings from the motor assembly (not a quick job), and replaced with fresh ferrofluid. They now sound good as new. Fortunately the domes on this pair are in perfect condition and have never been dented.The cabinets have a real cherry wood finish and are in very good condition. I can offer crossover upgrades that take these to another level of performance. Specification Type: Two-way, folded line bass reflex. Drive units: 165mm Kevlar cone bass/midrange; 26mm metal dome tweeter.
Sensitivity: 88dB for 2.83V at 1m. Nominal impedance: 8ohms (minimum 4.5 ohms).I'm happy to demonstrate and I have a wide range of used and refurbished hifi equipment for sale.
