Another Crown thanks to retrohead:-)

[Northerner]

I picked up a Crown 850 for a reasonable price off eBay not so long ago and after fixing it and making it complete I was really pleased with it. So when I was offered a 950 in trade by Andy (retrohead) I was very interested!

So I drove the hour or so to Andy's house, had a chat and some fish and chips, did the trade and brought home a really clean 950. Still stripped it down as usual, serviced it and cleaned it very thoroughly inside and out and it's a real beauty. Fully working and sounds great, just needs one aerial if anyone has one. It was even sunny enough to sit and do this outside today so I've had a few very enjoyable hours making this one really gleam. Thanks Andy

Chucked in a pic of my 850 too just for comparison...both great boxes

I thought you had one of these already Simon for some reason.

Both great boxes the 850 and 950 but the 950 wins on looks for me. 2 great guys doing a super deal, nice one☺

Fantastic, good for you! What struck me was the aesthetics, it's almost a timeless box.

What would you compare it to sound wise Si? I was very surprised at how good mine sounded☺

Now you need a 980.....Deepest bass of any 1-piece box I've heard so far.

Dunno mate...I can't compare boxes without listening to them side by side...I just know it sounds good lol
