I am not chatting to much these days, but I just got to say thats way too cool.
You have no idea how much I wish I was in your shoes.

EDIT: would you happen to have the measurements of the unit ( specs ) for my data base of speakers.
Do you mean the DRIVER specs or the dimensions of the cabinet? Here is the brochure portion:

And the 15" Monitor Gold specs:

I'm still kind of in shock at my luck. These were sitting on the Columbus Ohio Craigslist for WEEKS before someone mentioned it to me. Believe me, I was on the phone with the guy VERY soon, and committed to buying them very soon after that. Drove 2.5 hrs to get there, too, so it's not like I stumbled on these at a neighborhood yard sale. I have NO IDEA why they lasted more than a few days in a large-ish city.
I didn't know all the Tannoy models, but I knew I wanted a pair of 15" Monitor Golds, and was not likely to ever get a good working pair for under a grand without a lot of luck. That I got a pair of sweet little 6' folded horn cabinets with them, walnut veneer, from the original owner, is just so much the better!
Here's an indication of the kind of use they got: the owner's record collection included John Klemmer, the Captain and Tenille, easy/light jazz. These things have never been driven over 50 mph.
