Very cool! I’d like to spend some proper time with Lowthers.

Drool...

I’d love another 401 and having a spare ST20 would be nice. And yes those speakers would be lovely to own.

But I’m trying to simplicity my system and cut down on clutter - Damn my opposing sides/audio desires!

And another if you don’t mind me piggy backing your thread. I think the amps are Radford K25 and the speakers Studio 90.

Wow, never seen those before! I’ll actually start a new thread with those as they are potentially a real bargain!

I imagine that would be a wonderful setup. If I have remembered correctly the Radford Studio 90 was a transmission line model and the essence of what became the IMF series of speakers.

One of the EL84s has lost its vacuum.

That is awesome, just up my cousin’s street. He has some vintage Leak kit and he’s building a system around it!

He never bought many records

I used to have Lowther Acoustas amplified by a Concordant Excelsior pre-amp and Concordant-upgraded Quad II powers. It was just simply wonderful. The sound would just take over the room. A guy came to audition the Lowthers (I was getting married and thought having such huge speakers was not a great marital idea) and he ended up making an offer for my whole system......which in hindsight, I should have refused.

That sounds like a great system!

Here’s another cool system, mono though: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/37355655...d=link&campid=5338728743&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Check out his other 112 items for sale, that’s a wide selection of stuff. How many suites and cars can one guy have!

Great looking mono system, all covered in dust. A well dodgy listing though which has been ended, suspect the seller's account had been compromised. There have been a lot of scam listings recently, I've reported about a dozen of the ones I've spotted.

 

[Tony L]

I’ve noticed a heck of a lot of dodgy listings of late, but didn’t double-check that one as it looked fairly convincing as a house-clearance find or whatever. The same picture of a pair of those huge tall Martin Logan mono amps has been used about 8 times in the past month!

Ah, Radford speakers.
I owned a pair of Bookshelf models for a while.
Surprisingly good, but too big for bookshelves!

Here’s another vintafe cool system but with a 301/Decca: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/27478235...d=link&campid=5338728743&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Shame about the Dust Bug, but other than that a potential good buy assuming it doesn’t go up too high.

Very local to me and I've seen it crop up in multiple recent ebay searches. Rare to see something like that outside the South of England due to the cost etc.

If I lived in a bigger pad and had a bit more cash I'd be all over it, although as mentioned it looks like it needs a good going over.

"Bespoke hand made cabinet (made in 1950) especially to house the following top of the range equipment."

No it wasn't. Not in 1950.
