B&W DM110i
I hadn't realised that the Chorale line was more expensive than it's brethren, 'when new'. Could one of the reasons for that have been that it shared it's drivers with the original LS3/5a - I'm pretty sure that I have 'em in my 'Concerto's', too (it's a shame that they didn't help your Codas to come up to snuff).The chorale III is a bit earlier and quite a lot more expensive 'when new'.
I had a pair of Coda III's which came in similar livery but were certainly not suited to BTW use.
There might be a few suitable Kefs from that period but it certainly isn't "most".
The 760i's are a fair bit later than the Kef orange and chocolate baffle series or C10's etc. 90's rather than 80's
Mission 70's would have been the contemporaneous offering, and they sold well, though you rarely see them come up used. I wonder if they all fell apart like the HB1's did.
The one good thing about Kef is that all of the models have stood the test of time really well. No foam rot there!
My first proper speaker!
In the short time I’ve had my pair I’m astonished at the performance of these 40 year old speakers. Very tempted to have them recapped but then I’d have to stop listening to them for however long it would take to encourage my friend to do the work.Mordaunt short pageant 2
Just an unbelievably good speaker and good looking too
Dynaco A-25 - sold in incredibly high numbers -rubber surround woofers -so no foam rot issues-easy to drive -just plain sweet sounding speakers.Admittedly -thanks to US PX/BX sales more common in the USA -but enough leaked out to the rest of the world.
Some of smaller AR units are excellent VFM, I've got some 18s's that sound great with either a nait3 or A&R A60.
