If foreign hi-fi gets more expensive that makes the UK made stuff more competitive. More sales and potentially more UK hi-fi manufacturers.
That also applies to any product.
On the other hand tat from China already has duty on it yet the shops are full of it.

Having owned a few Whiteley Stentorian speakers, I'd not bother. The power handling is very limited and the sound quality an aquired taste. |

Those are very nice Andre. A bugger to find stands for though.

Never heard those Gales before. Do they have a certain sound character?

Yep beautiful they were. Those 401C were exactly the same other than that.. The guy that got me into Hi-Fi burned out a Cambridge audio 'A75' driving those

I thought the 'A60' sounded better than the Pre/Pwr. But obviously you got more power of tap with the power amps + You could connected in Bridged Mono..
Never judge a book by its cover Westie. A lotta lotta people still use those A60

Use the right speaker with it, sound great, Wrong one it dont sound so great.. I always thought the Heybrook 'HB-1' was a great match. You could buy the 'A60' in an 'AP' version which allowed you to use it as a Pre Amp with the matching 'SA60' power amp [Two SA60X with a bunch of Active Loudspeaker crossover boards available to be fitted] They did Active boards for the Early white Missions '717'/'727'. Linn 'Kan'/'Sara', ARC '101'/'102' etc..  |
