    Question Need help identifying the speakers and record deck...

    Thanks again! My curiosity was piqued by a conversation I had with, ultimately, my boss - the Rector (Scots Headteacher) at the school at which I teach. I knew she had a good record collection, and she said yesterday she has a Linn turntable - but she also asked me about this (now defunct)...

    Question Need help identifying the speakers and record deck...

    Thanks all! Thanks for identifying the Alnico Signature speakers @Al ears as I wasn't sure of the model. I recall being told that there was a family connection between the speakers and the turntable, so SystemDek it would be - thanks @nopiano and @amormusic All the best folks!

    Question Need help identifying the speakers and record deck...

    Some nine years ago I popped into Jordan Acoustics in Glenrothes (now no more) to enquire about buying some headphones; I had no idea what was behind the innocuous door of this wee place located in a local community shopping complex.

    Question Don't suppose anyone knows how to disassemble Mordaunt Short Avant 914i speakers..?

    Forgot to report back - how remiss of me!

    Question Don't suppose anyone knows how to disassemble Mordaunt Short Avant 914i speakers..?

    Thank you. I've emailed MS to ask about disassembly; it seems that the aluminium front panel is glued/bonded in place so removal may not be an option - will attempt rubber cement from the fron!

    Question Don't suppose anyone knows how to disassemble Mordaunt Short Avant 914i speakers..?

    Thanks, @Al ears - at first, and before posting, I'd incorrectly thought the four bolts were purely attachment points for the grille but a Torx bit unscrews them; next stage is to removing the aluminium front which I hope can be done by pushing it out from the bass port directly behind.... Yes...

    Question Don't suppose anyone knows how to disassemble Mordaunt Short Avant 914i speakers..?

    Hi - I used to be a forum member many moons ago but can't recall what my username was, or what the email address I used at the time was, so starting afresh. I have a pair of MS Avant 914i floorstanding speakers that I use with a Denon DM37 mini-system in my home-office; last night I heard some...
