I've only just got back on the site, or I'd have posted these earlier.

I couldn't resist and bought them although I'm not sure where I'm going to put them. Still, I've so nearly bought a pair so many times, I really wanted to at least hear a pair. Anyone had a pair? I'd be interested to know what you paired them with and the results you had. I paid £105 which seems cheap, but I'm not that clued up on current prices. Still, cheaper than ls3/5as eh?

As the seller can't get them to me before the middle of next week, I'll not be able to hear them for a while, as I'm away from home for a bit. Still, a mate's "looking after" them for me and I'll have something to look forward to when I get back.

I had a pair of these in the early 90's.

The first things that strikes you is how incredibly heavy they are for such a small box, I partnered mine with an Ion Obelisk 3x/xpak1 amp and used a Roksan Xerxes turntable. For me they were one of the best speakers I owned, they just did everything I threw at them well and had that knack of making you smile and want to listen. I later upgraded to a pair of Royd SIntra's which were very similar but did everything on a slightly larger scale. They are a revealing speaker so partner them with good kit and you will be smiling for weeks!!!

They are internally lined with steel plate.

Ooh, lovely! I'm using a Xerxes too, so I might be in for a treat. :D

Selby - They are as you say pricey.....how old ?....But they are getting scarcer every year.
Could be a bloody sound investment....Will be surprised if they go for less than £500....
They just dont make em like they used to.......
