Ah, yes, my HiFi was never cheap and occasionally eye-watering. But my big Tannoy Dual-Concentrics are around 45 years old now. They did sterling service in the 70s/80s when I ran my disco, helped along by separate big folded-horn bass bins and ceramic tweeters.

I renewed the cones about 15 years ago as the roll-surrounds were disintegrating. They're still in use everyday and will still take the breath away with the wick turned up. With all those years of use, they've actually turned out to be pretty good value. Sadly my ears have fared less well :-(.
