Derek wrote about these speakers...
I bought these because I could not afford the BBC LS3/5A at the time. These little Tangents were extremely good and mine were working up until 1996 when the foam surround on the bass units disintegrated. For a low cost speaker they used a realtively expensive Audax 25mm tweeter - a far higher quality unit than usually found at this price point. Cabinets were veneered (inside and out) ply, with an MDF baffle. A simple foam lining helped damp resonances and I loved them. I still have the cabinets. I also still use the tweeters in a self-designed speaker which I use in my dining room system.
