He got an absolute bargain thenThere is at least £200 worth of bass drivers there
They look to me like the B220.8 as i'm fairly sure nearly every other Volt Bass driver had a black chassis?Just had another look & they look more like 10" drivers though, even better if they are!

They weren't what I'd call svelt speakers and that would indicate the 10" bass units. Volt is the only European maker of drivers that Ashley James has any favourable things to say about, and to get a complimentary vibe from him about anything in the audio industry is something indeed.
Hmmm, crossover updates? I bet with modern sources they really would be great. Hope they get the matching system they deserve

Yep, 10" Volts in a transmission line enclosure.
Althhough, there were a few reflex versions floating about.

Yes, but what value has hot air?They weren't what I'd call svelt speakers and that would indicate the 10" bass units.
