Griffin Speakers

Puffin · 07:44 PM

I got these recently for a very good price and am very impressed with them. There is no information on the net about them (well very very little). I understand that they have the bass units used in the LS35A (Kef SP1003) and a Coles tweeter.

Anyone have any info?

Dave. Thanks for the links, I have in fact seen those, but they are not about the model I have. I believe that mine might be the "Phoenix" model. I would like to know what their specs are. They are pretty hard to drive and need a very meaty amp with lots of current. If they get it they sound superb.

Rob.

No question that the tweeter in the photo is the Coles 3000. In Dave's reference (hifiloudspeakers) one of the posts correctly identifies it. According to Colin Royle (?) Coles bought the tooling for the HF1300 from Celestion and then marketed it. They did alter the faceplate (for easier mounting from the outside I guess). It sounds like the earlier version of your speakers might have had the ITT/STC/ Coles 4001. Higher frequency response i.e. over 20k but not used much below 6k. If they then moved to the HF1300/Coles3000 then that was probably a good move. It can work from around 2.5k but only up to about 14/15k Hz. So as you get older you will not notice the difference ha ha!! Cheers, Jonathan
