Do you rate the Castle Howard or Harlech Andre? I'm intrigued by the upward facing driver.

I rate all Castle {Skipton. Yorkshire} models with exception to the 'Conway Mk.II'
I had a pair of the MK II Sabre's and they were very good indeed...

These

are, at the moment a bit more reasonably priced...I'd be asking if the treble horns are still functioning, but if so, and they just need re foaming, Billy Bargain. You can get original treble diaphragms on ebay, but they're not cheap. Might still be worth it though.
I have Urei 811's, bigger than these with 15" drivers (809's are 12") and after a little restoration and modification, they're very good indeed. Urei's were designed to be soffit mounted, so work well positioned right in to corners, unlike most hi-fi speakers. Working well, fed a clean signal (and they'll obligingly make you aware if its not), they're an intoxicatingly open window and dynamically will show a clean pair of heels to most speakers.
Not heard of this model of Nag. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-Nagao...p2056016.l4276
Very nice.
