I have a mint pair of Colin's Edingdales in black, anyone interested?

They can be heard in my shop HX5 0AQ

Well if they are Colin's, you should give them back to him.

David,
If these are the speakers I am thinking of, please do not advertise them as Edingdales THEY ARE NOT EDINGDALE SPEAKERS.

I do remember building these for you, and you named them the MCRU No127 Loudspeakers. As a consequence of the very positive product review in Hi-Fi World, your client ordered a pair but wanted piano black painted finish that I said we couldn't do. In the end the speakers were skinned in black stained ASH veneer, which I take it were not to your clients liking?

Scott and I designed these speakers specific for MCRU. The original speakers were finished in Cherry veneer (not Teak as described by Noel Keywood) and reviewed in Hi-FI World magazine with a 5-star rating described as "Outstanding - amongst the best".

They use a completely different 5" (127mm) midrange driver array and different HF driver to my Edingdale speakers with a purpose designed cabinet for that driver array. Having said this, they are excellent sounding speakers and use quality drivers and XO components. Scott did a great job designing these speakers but I reiterate THEY ARE NOT EDINGDALES unless we are talking different speakers.

Ah, the MCRU 127.

As Colin says, not an Edingdale, but that's far from a negative as it was an entirely new, ground-up design for MCRU, only sharing the basic configuration. The 127 runs 5 1/2in Seas midbass units in the midbass array with a dedicated cabinet design & bass alignment, a magnetostatic tweeter with die-cast alloy waveguide, a rear-firing ambience tweeter (a suggestion from Nick) and dedicated crossover (obviously ).

It's a very good speaker, although I say so as shouldn't. Certainly, it seemed to go down well at Hi-Fi World; as I recall, Noel was particularly impressed with the impedance load it presented, which is something of a feature of most of the speakers Colin and I did (I hate excessively reactive loads). In a mid-sized room, it should also be able to blow the three little pig's brick house down.
