Golden Oldies
I had been using the bigger DM3s since new in 1971 but I was aware the smaller DM4s were generally preferred. The tweeter and super-tweeter are common to both. As the price was right I bought two pairs of DM4s to use in two different rooms. All DM4s are certainly not the same. The better pair had been kept in cooler conditions and the teak veneer was perfect. Also the baffle had teak veneer and pretty plugs to hold the grilles. The grilles were perfect but these speakers looked wonderful without them. The other pair had baffles in black spray painted plywood with rather ugly wooden blocks to support the grilles. Clearly original but an inferior batch. These speakers had clearly had to suffer central heating so the veneer was cracked and the cones showed signs of the rubber surround parting company with the cone. I re-stuck the cones with super glue and strengthened both cones with a thin layer of silicone at the join. The cabinets needed repairing with plastic wood. I filled the wood grain with fine polyfilla then sanded off carefully priming then finishing in white gloss after masking the front and back. Rather laborious but the result with grilles replaced is spectacular. Sound quality from both pairs can only be described as delicious especially when used with subwoofers. New speakers of this standard cost a lot. Spendor BC1s of similar vintage go for a lot more but use the same or similar drivers. A comparison with DM3s. They had paper eliptical 8 inch by 13 inch woofers. This produced a rather wooly mid-range as the paper tended to add its own vibrations. Doped paper avoided this problem so I applied model aircraft dope to my woofers resulting in much cleaner sound. Used with subwoofers at high volume in a large room I have to say my DM3s still beat all comers and if you can find some good ones buy them. But the DM4s are also a really class act. Buy carefully though and try to inspect first. They will already have lasted almost a lifetime and with care could last another lifetime. True hi-fi on a low budget. Aim to pay less than £250 a pair but really good ones are worth twice that.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great antique features
These speakers - which were originally sold in the mid 1970s - were special at the time and are still special today. In good condition, they have wonderful range and clarity and will compete with good £500-700 modern speakers and beat many poorly conceived more expensive speakers. They'll play anything well - including genres such as electronic dance music which didn't exist when they were designed or built. They're a little big as a bookshelf speakers but would suit being on a large raised surface or stand. They're also pretty awesome on the floor.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
