Nice! One ended yesterday for €640 I think. It was in Ireland. Seems there are a couple of others on there at the moment for similar amounts too.

That deal fell through and I got it after 😁

Try Martin (Dillen) first, he may have the knobs.

Lovely thread by the way, your set up is fantastic Dave!

I now have a pair of Type S on the way from the UK - I'll have to find a thread that covers them to see if recapping the crossovers is recommended - I'd assume so for the age, but as I have never heard any of these components in a system especially in the hands of one who knows the factory sound, I'll have to rely on you all for recommendations and the factory specs my tech guy can check. You all have been an invaluable and kind lot to help me with this venture into the unknown!

OK, I presume

Thanks! I only have room for the smaller speakers at this point - still not sure where this set will go once it is gone through. I searched for the Type K and M, but found nothing. I was about to buy a pair of 1000 for such a low price that I was concerned with the condition when I saw the Type S.

And as you see, you were correct. I'm not sure that my main system speakers are too much bigger than the Type S - wider though with a 12"woofer ... As I may have mentioned I just had their crossovers recapped. 

I also have an MC 225 coming and I'll be interested to hear it and the 608 to compare.
