(i) No Phil, I'm not brave enough to haggle in a big room full of tradesmen !

(ii) Scott - what would those Sansuis look like then ?
There's plenty of Welsh chapels still up for renovation .

Good luck carrying those Mark, I can feel my back going in to spasm at the thought... Are you getting them to cut them to size?

Scott - I think the word is 'Yikes' , but for true authenticity there should be a can of Double-Diamond in front of them instead .

Simon - my woodworker friend is going to pick up the sheets with his trailer and take them back to his farm for cutting :D

That makes a lot of sense to me :D. Is this the same woodworker friend that made the beautiful phono plinth you brought to Eggborough many moons ago? That was beautiful, wish I had the tools and ability.

I used to use 15's in my bass cabs, I had 2 each of these...

Then went to 2 of these...

...but to be honest this (below) blows all that away...

4 x 10" + horn in 2 separate boxes fed via a SS PP 450W RMS amp. It's 'HiFi bass playing' :)

Sorry for the brief hijack Mark.

wow the bass.....

just had a shot of nostalgia........back in the day I had a selmer goliath cab but it didn't look anything like that......it took 2 chemically crazed roadie types to shift it......afaik it was the standard cab for the selmer 50 and 100 head.......I wonder if there is a connection with the name.........

sorry for the double hijack Mark

edit ps:

just found this on the swr website(its all new to me)
The full-range response of the amp required a speaker cabinet equal to the task, so designers started searching for the right speakers, the right cabinet porting and the right crossover point. In 1986, the unleashed the result: the Goliathâ„¢. It was the first of its kind"a 4x10 full-range speaker cabinet with a horn tweeter. To this day, it is the most copied speaker cabinet on the market.
'sa bit cheeky cos I had a goliath cab when this guy was probably in nappies....mmmm

sorry again Mark

Yes I more remember Selmer Goliath rather than these modern snazzy hi-tech numbers. I had a Treble n Bass 50. I liked it but it wasn't a Marshall, hm.
