  Interesting, thanks for the info. I think I'll go for the Wharfedales for now, the buyer has accepted £50, so at least it's not a disaster if I don't like them or they crumble to dust during Mr Oizo.

  Thanks all, sound advice. The Celestion's have some sentimental appeal, my dad had some 15s and I remember enjoying pressing the radiator and the effect on the driver. I believe my brother took them to university and were never seen again...

  There's a local place with some other options, they don't have a showroom though so no browsing, which is frustrating.

  I've got a Marantz PM6002 amp and would like some vintageish speakers that don't cost the earth. I would like them to work and not have to be replacing any components. I've been looking at Celestion Dittons and Wharfedales from late 70s. I don't know what I'm doing. Is this all a complete gamble and should I just buy new retro looking stuff? For example, will these be rubbish/trouble? Wharfedale Linton 3XP

  Currently have B&W 685s which I don't find a relaxing listen and look a bit too sharp.

  Everyone sad about Antonio. Was it classic footballer x fast car self inflicted incident? Or others involved?

  Contain yourself.

  I think she's been borderline unwatchable in every film to date, this Black Doves may be the turning point (although <1 episode in)

  Edit: I've only seen Bend it, Love Actually (many times of course) and Pirates of the.

  Sounds like you are being kind but you've already been inconvenienced by a poor driver. Will a mechanical inspection be free? You shouldn't have to pay anything out.
