Mordaunt Short MS400 Loudspeakers in Teak Finish. 99p NO RESERVE
Vintage Mordaunt-Short MS 400 floor-standing speakers in rare Rosewood finish.The speakers were launched in 1969, produce very detailed and transparent sound, with good bass even in low volume. They have large elliptical midbass unit, one tweeter and one super tweeter each. Have attractive high quality real wood finish.
They are a 3 way design featuring a bass driver unit, a mid/tweeter and a super tweeter. They are rated at 30 watts RMS at 8 Ohms The bass driver was made in England by EMI. It’s a 13″ X 8″ elliptical unit that i believe was called an EMI 700 and I understand was custom made for this particular model.The cone is a triple laminate paper with an aluminium centre section and a distinctive “pepper pot” dust cover all painted in a natural alcohol based black paint. The cone is suspended by a vinyl surround. The chassis is a steel pressing fitted with a large magnet assembly for it’s day. The chassis is painted in a grey hammer type paint. These were also very similar to the drive units fitted into the well regarded B&W DM3 from the late 60’s and early 70’s. The mid/tweeter unit is i believe a KEF T15 1 1/2″ black soft dome unit. These were well regarded and used by many manufacturers in the 1970’s The crossover frequency is 2.25 kHz. The super tweeter is a Coles 4001G unit. Again these were popular in there day. The crossover frequency is around 8 or 9 kHz All the drivers are working perfectly and looks like new.The crossover units were made by Mordaunt Short for this driver combination using strip prototype board which adds a certain uniqueness to the speakers design. The sound these speakers produce is very different to that of modern speaker designs. The way they present detail in the sound, particularly the mids is amazing. They are best suited to vocals, jazz, live band recordings and rock music
Although they are large floor-standing speakers, they don’t require a large room. Closed type enclosures without bass reflex allow to position the speakers close to the wall, without losing the bass and the depth of the sound stage.
Very clean example, in excellent condition. Both cabinets has been re-sanded and covered using Natural Oil – please review attached photos. In fully working order.
