This pair were nice to have in, fully working and great sounding Quad ii with Accoustical badged Quad QCII mono pre. Only minor marks, which is amazing considering they are nearly 70 years old, with assumed original valve line-up. Superb examples, one for the collector. The paper work inlcuded a 50's brochure, schematics for the II, and 22, we are aware that the pre isn't a 22, but these are the papers that came with it, so he may well of purchased another pre/power at a later date, hence why he has these slightly later manuals/papers.

Recently, we had a pair of the truly monstrous NAIM DBL speakers in. They came with the SNAXO crossover, but were in need of some TLC. The drivers, which were ATC units, needed a re-foam and the cabinets needed a little effort, to bring them back to their former glory. So we set about filling the spike holes in the bottom of the cabs with car body filler, while we waited for the correct foams to arrive from America.
