Mordaunt Short MS3.50

Not heard this model but I reckon they would sound like large ES14s with transmission lines so I'd take a punt if I was local to Bedford.

That's the bookshelf but I imagine many of the conclusions apply to their bigger brother.

Hi Lawrence, yes, I should have added that the link explains about the drivers used and the lack of normal crossover; backing up your suggestion they're potentially like a bigger ES14.

I could be wrong but I believe Robin Marshall worked for MS at this time and designed them, hence the similarity.

Edit: this would seem to confirm it

Ah indeed. In my absentmindedness I did not link the two together. It makes perfect sense. I know my MS20i Pearls are RM designed. At the time they were known to some as very similar to the ES11.
