Yes, Decca DK30 ribbon horn tweeters. May be EMI mid and Fane bass units. Should sound nice. The DK30's are worth a few bob on their own these days.
The MS700 was superseded by the MS737 with the Decca London ribbon. Audio Al has a set.

I know one thing, Mr K: They look pretty ugly. On a scale of 1 - 10 - they'd get top score from me.
Being as poor as you are, I do hope you haven't wasted your money, Mr K...

Couldn't resist Geoff, don't know why since I'm in that age group, but as you know, you never feel your age.  |

They are old boomers those MS700's. Back in their heyday, they slayed all the hot bitches long before Tinder came along. S. |

First bigger M-S for me were the mid 70's Signifers. I gather the 700's were pretty good for the time though,

Ugly's ugly. And they're ugly. So, do you like speakers that look like high class prostitutes? S. |

The comparison doesn't make any sense to me. Some speakers (Castle) are nicely made, nice to look at. Some are not. Attractive vintage speakers. And if I had a spare £4000 I'd buy a pair. And the less expensive JR 149s:   |

Are high class prostitutes like class A amplifiers?
I'd never thought about there being different 'classes' of brass.
Most brasses are minging. Although I suppose if you saw a class A brass you might not realise she was a brass...

What’s up with the Corals? one has a stiff cloth surround which is not good,i think the dope used is watered down pva or similar,ive got to remove as much as i can to re dope. sadly its not something that a quick wipe over with meths will cure.

yes fingers crossed,they showed enough promise for me to want to build the better cabs for them,they have a lovely natural tone.
macca was right,they dont do bass,in their current cabinets it like there is bits of music missing.
if and its a big if,i can sort the surrounds out i wonder how they sound paired with the decca ribbon from the ms700's?
