ID speakers, Wharfdale?
These are some Solavox TK45, made in Great Britain, I understand Comet brand. The speakers seem much like Wharfdale, any more info? Just under 10".
Any info please. |

10 "? Possibly 102.14 - looks a lot like one I have with that stamped on it.

Re: ID speakers, Wharfdale?
Hmmm, there's a couple of Solavox speakers in my local charity warehouse. They're a bit tatty and at £45 I've left them there. They look similar, I'll have another look.
Any comments on performance for the TK45s?

Re: ID speakers, Wharfdale?
They could be homemade, I had a Wharfdale kit with the same woofer, does the mid have a cardboard tube behind it? another indication of possible kit/DIY is the front cover grommets are in an odd place.

Re: ID speakers, Wharfdale?
I've had some Solarvox Loudspeakers and they looked supiciously similar to some Leak branded ones from the later days when Leak was part of a bigger grouping.

Re: ID speakers, Wharfdale?
Hi
The Solavox speakers used Leak 20 series cabinets, with Wharfedale drive units from the Denton, Linton and Glendale range. In effect ‘hybrid’ designs made specifically for Comet. |
