Does this unit have a remote control with it?

Are these the Matrix version?

How much does it weigh?

What color do u call that, doesn't seem to be the usual gloss black mostly seen?

Price is good & it would be mine but, I'm in Adelaide!

Item: Monitor Audio MA1 Price Range: To be negotiated Item Condition: Used Extra Info: These speakers are from the late 70s & feature a Kef B139. They were designed for Monitor Audio by Martin Colloms.

Are u looking for projects or completed items?

Would have depended on the music!

A late version with TDL drivers...............a bargain at twice the price!!!!!!!

Nice to see a pair in something other than boring black! One of the very few speakers available for those who just want to listen to real music & in great cond......wish they were closer to me.

Does this have a remote control?

Have u found an amp?

Might be helpful to know the length!

Dimensions would be helpful ?

Then what is the black cable for?

Is a power supply included & what is the multi pin centre connector for?

My first comment is that these speakers are in amazing condition & an absolute credit to their custodians over their lifetime. However, I do not believe the driver line up is 100% original & I say that only as a comment & not as a criticism as I would be happy to own them. The Concerto was the premier Kef model over a period of some 10 yrs, late 60s to late 70s & during that time Kef revised & updated the drivers & Xovers which included but, not limited to, improving their power handling. The style of grille cloth, the xover mounting, the T27 (tweeter) & B110 midrange are of the type fitted prior to the update but, the B139 bass driver is the later version. KEF introduced all the revised drivers together. The later T27 is quite different looking & also has wires exposed horizontally each side of the dome, usually blue & black tho sometimes white. The later B110 has a slightly different roll surround which extends a little further onto the cone & the metal basket is painted all black. The xover on the later version has the component side visible not the back of the pcb as these have. The B139 that was used with the drivers fitted here did not have any corners & was a completely smooth oval whereas this unit clearly has 4 corners & is obviously the later version. You will note that the tweeter & midrange are very neatly routed in flush with the baffle where the bass does not appear to be. My belief is that the original B139 has been replaced with the later version & I wonder if both have been done. Anyone who inspects them in person should be able to see if the bass units are routed in flush as it is not really clear in the pix. Might be worthwhile replacing the other components with the later versions which are often available s/hand or new from Falcon Electronics in the UK. Either way I'm sure the new owner will be very proud of them & if they were here in Adelaide I would be looking to replacing my, nowhere near as pristine, models with these. Forgot to mention the later Xover is coded DN12 & is of the ab (acoustic butterworth) type. SP1004 is the older version.

As I recall these were the first ME efforts & began to appear in the late 1970s!

Can also be an upgrade for Rega 2 which have a 10mm platter & a great improvement for the older Rega 2 that had the MDF platters..

Some simple effective mods applicable to these units as well!

Item: Genuine Linn armboard cut for Grace 707 Price Range: Not sure of value but probably sub $100 Item Condition: Good cond. Extra info. I'm in Adelaide

Does this actually have the phono stage fitted & operating?

Is there a remote??
