The *NOT BORING!* Hi-Fi faff chat and sales

[legrandefromage]

most modern subs have a high level input where the speaker cables go from the amplifier to the sub and then onto the speakers themselves.

Solves a lot of connection probs.

I need a woofer for my mission 751's blew it years back but time to fix it, do you have one?

Also what obscure Hifi stuff did you design in your previous life?

 

[legrandefromage]

mini Quad electrostatics (not much 'designing' needed), the great big tall ESL, some obscure Wharfedales made for pence and never really saw the light of day.

Need a pic of the 751 to remind me.

Ta.

 

[The Ken]

like these, I'll try and get my old ones out the loft and get a pic though

 

[legrandefromage]

ooh dear, unfortunately they are now made of unobtainium. You can call IAG to see if they still have any but the last time I tried they were charging £145 plus VAT and delivery (I live 3 miles away) for a Wharfedale part).

IAG own the Mission brand name and most of the spares stock turned up at local car boot sales when the factory was closed.

The 751 is a fantastic speaker and was way underpriced second hand, always overshadowed by the bigger 753 and 752.

yes technically I could have got the work done under their 5 year warranty but never quite got round to it. I'll watch the cheaper pair and scan the local second hand shops.

I've got my eye on a similar centre speaker too, might finally try out this 2.1 surround nonsense

I prefer not using a centre speaker.

4x 751 will be better

I don't see the point too a center speaker TBH, But I use it on my home cinema because it's there, it's a bit like a big tweeter IMO, And a ass too balance on a plasma screen,
