Alan,
A preliminary list of costs to date is as follows:-
1. No.2 pair of Isobariks - £995 (bought from Huddersfield Hi-Fi)
2. Costs of collecting these at £0.38 per mile - £287 (in fairness this was rolled up into a trip down to Cymbiosis and doesn't include that additional mileage or the stopover in the Premier Inn)
3. No. 3 pair of Isobariks - £1480 (these are the Scan-Speak donor pair)
4. Costs of collecting these - £275
5. Replacement B139's for No.3 Isobariks - £105
6. No.4 pair of Isobariks - £795 (these are the Kustone pair currently being machined)
7. One pair IMF (Elac) 128/ 20's - £250 (still aiming to get a set of these and the TDL 3021/ GT01)
8. 4off Keltik bass drivers - £880
I will, at the end of all this, have the following available for sale:-
1. No.1 pair of Isobariks c/w stands and external crossovers (tweeters still to be replaced)
2. No.2 pair of Isobariks c/w stands and external crossovers
3. 2 pairs of KEF B139 drivers (ex No.3 pair)
4. 2 pairs of KEF B139 drivers (ex No.4 pair)
5. 2 pairs of Kustone KEF B110
6. 1 pair of Hiquphon tweeters
I have already sold the stands/ crossovers that came with No.3 pair. The stands made £280 on eBay so take off 10% equals £252 'profit'. The crossovers were 'lost' by the French postal system so the £530 they were sold for ended up being refunded to the buyer................ and, of course, I have nothing to show for it..........
The costs for upgrading an existing pair would be:-
1. New Scanspeak units - £1970
2. Keltik bass drivers - £800+ (you might get lucky and buy a complete pair of speakers for circa £600)
3. Machining circa £400
Regards
Richard
