Very under-rated at the time. Sadly, they were the wrong look, size and shape to counter the trend for slim floorstanders.
Due to a bereavement i bought back my Mordaunt Short Signifers.Top of the range back in 1980,id forgotton how good these are.

A bit of a legend. I must confess to loving the "studio monitor on a trolley" look.
How's the sound?

im certainly not left wanting,i normally use ns1000's with upgraded x-overs. the signifers go lower for sure,im going to use them for a few weeks and then swap back to the yamaha's for comparison.

You do know why dog's bark repeatedly?
They hear their own echo, and think it is a replying dog.

I thought the price on the receipt was about right, I seem to recall them being around the £490 mark on launch and then I think they were £540. That would have been spring 1980 IIRC. I left the hifi trade (or thought I did...) in May of that year.

Thanks for posting, would have done it myself but I couldn't work out how, lol. I bought the book when I purchased my Audiomaster MLS4's and I'm almost certain that was in 1980.thanks to mothman,hope you dont mind me sharing.
