TIA You will get loads of different views, a Delkim vs Fox argument and probably each answer is right and wrong😅😉 Personally I bought a set of Delkim St's back in 2000, I'm still using them. I have a mate who likes his Delkim EV's. The Delkims St's still keep popping up on the ebay, at between £50-80. I have 'borrowed' a set of Gardner TLB's to play, nice alarms, but I think the ATTS are the current version. Munty 1 Quote

In the past I've had fox alarms, delkims, stevie Neville's and I currently have Attx. Can't fault the Attx, in fact I can't fault any of the alarms I've owned. I can honestly say I've never had a problem with any of them. I've got my Neville's still but they are the old ones so no remote sounder box so I only use my Attx alarms and i think they're brilliant for the money. Been out in all weathers and still perform as good as the day I brought them (probably 10yrs ago, maybe more). Quote
ouchthathurt Posted January 28, 2021 Report Posted January 28, 2021 I’ve gone through a fair few sets of alarms, I started with optonic alarms, then got micron M’s, then Steve Neville alarms, then fox again. I loved the micron minis (just been re-released) and the micron Mx which are pretty solid and reliable alarms yet aren’t too pricey. I had the basic Nash sirens which again were good alarms, the £20 versions, have volume control and are fairly sensitive, but a bit too quiet for my taste. The delkim EV are pretty good, volume and sensitivity and tone as standard, I had them for a few years (before the sirens) and they certainly do the job, might pick them up on a deal now the newest delks are out. Only problem I had was they packed up in the rain, I had a set of four and two packed up during downpours. Although, for me, it’s Steve Neville alarms, I love them and had a set years ago, before I snapped them off at the base (older nev’s could have an issue with the base of the alarm around the screw fitting cracking) I replaced them with the micron Mx's. I replaced the delk EVs with another set of nevilles, I love them, they’re simple and the sound of a screaming Neville is awesome. My son has the delks now, he still sleeps through a screaming run...

Do you want a receiver? 2 or 3 alarms? Delkim, Fox, Sonik all reliable names. Quote
