Vintage UK speakers. A pair of KEF Concords, first generation, auditioned and purchased new October 30, 1970.
Leak 2030 speakers. Purchased for $8 Cdn at a local Goodwill c2008 - in great shape and sounded better.
Leak 2060 speakers. Bought in 2018 private sale nearby.
I can find very few examples of my KEF Concords on the internet and wonder if they were assembled in Quebec from components supplied by KEF but were not widely distributed outside of Canada. If anyone knows I would appreciate any information.
The Kefs won a 3 way audition on that night 52 years ago.(!!!) We had a pr of Leak Sandwiches which we liked most but were too expensive for our budget. The third pr were Celestion Ditton 30 series which we liked the least. We kept the KEFs as the best trade off between sound and value. I was 10. I can't imagine being allowed to go home with 3 pairs of speakers and two sets of stereo separates these days but people were more trusting and trustworthy back then. Maybe Dad dropped a huge security deposit for them. He never told me.
Cheers.

Probably been awhile since I put my Brit-fi on here, although I don't think any of it has changed for a good while.
