    Mordaunt Short Performance 6 Speakers

    Its only cosmetic damage. I can purchase the replacement driver and swap it out myself.

    Mordaunt Short Performance 6 Speakers

    Mordaunt Short don't have any spares. I emailed them and Cambridge Audio replied stating they handle their customer support. They weren't helpful.

    Mordaunt Short Performance 6 Speakers

    I am about to purchase a pair of these speakers from a local seller. One of the mid-range drivers is dented. I see there is one for a Performance 5 on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204098412731 Was it the same model on the Performance 6?

    SACD transport - recommendations please

    I own a few Japanese domestic model hi-fi. Most from the early 2000s. I use transformers from Airlink Transformers. I find JDM stuff from late 90s and 2000s to be high build quality and reliable as they were made in Japan.

    The system will still be working in progress after acquiring the Mordaunt Short Performance 6 speakers. The turntable is a dilemma. I have two options: Thorens TD2035 (Black) Unobtainable because lack of availability. Never seem to come up for sale on eBay or anywhere else. AVID Acutus...

    Monitor Audio Gold 200 5G vs Mordaunt Short Performance 6

    There are a grey pair for sale on eBay. I want them in black. So I'll wait until a pair is listed for sale. They are rarely sold on eBay so I'll have to be patient. I'll just blind buy them as they are only around £1500. Most sellers don't seem to keep the boxes which makes transporting them...

    Monitor Audio Gold 200 5G vs Mordaunt Short Performance 6

    That is not possible. I cannot take my speakers to the sellers house to do a A to B direct comparison.

    Monitor Audio Gold 200 5G vs Mordaunt Short Performance 6

    Can't work out if this would be an upgrade or downgrade in terms of audio quality. Main reason I like the Performance 6 is because of their looks. They are much older speakers than the Gold 5G. I'm unsure if speaker technology advancement has made them superior in terms of audio. Amplification...

    My wife has been pestering me to get rid of the T+A TCI Criterion 2E speakers in the lounge. Thinking of replacing them with these: https://dougbradyhifi.com/products/marten-parker-quintet-diamond-edition-loudspeakers?variant=37070124089493

    What is on your hi-fi wishlist?

    I'm looking for a Thorens TD2035 in black for my Tag McLaren system. They never come up for sale on eBay etc. I don't think they were a popular model. I've just bought a replacement Ortofon Cadenza Blue cartridge to replace a defective Kontrapunkt B. It was purchased 19 years ago but only had...
